Supply Chain Guru Tables

Supply Chain Guru uses a number of input and output tables to hold your
model data:
 Standard Tables – These are standard input tables for single time
period data.
 Multi-Time Period Tables – These are input tables for multi-time period
data.
 Constraints Tables – These are input tables that support constraints on
various types of data, such as Flow, Inventory, Production and
Greenfield Service.
 Optimization Output Tables – These are output tables that contain the
data generated by Network Optimization, Greenfield Analysis, and
Vehicle Route Optimization.
 Simulation Output Tables – These are output tables that contain the
data generated by Simulation.

Products
Name
(Name)
Type: Text
Enter a unique Name to represent product or a Stock Keeping Unit (SKU) number.

Value
Type: Number
Enter a monetary value for each unit. The Value field is used to calculate the inventory
investment and inventory holding costs. It is incorporated in the following formula:
Inv holding cost = Avg Inv * Product value * Inv Carrying Cost % * Length of Time in
Inventory
In Network Optimization, the Product Value in the Inventory Policies table overrides the
Product Value in the Products table.
In Simulation, the Product Value in the Products table is always used. The Inv Carrying
Cost % in the Inventory Policies is used if populated; otherwise, the Inv Carrying Cost %
in Model Options is used.
The Value is reflected in the Total Inv Holding Cost in the Network Summary output table.

Price
Type: Number
Enter the revenue generated from the sale of a single unit of this product. The product
price is used to calculate revenue statistics.
Each time a customer order for this product is filled, it is registered as a sale. Revenue is
determined by the number of units sold multiplied by the price of the product. In case a
Unit Price is specified on the Demand table, in that case the Price in the Products table is
over-ridden. When no Unit Price is specified on the Demand table, the Price field on the
Product table is the default for Revenue calculations.

Weight
Type: Number
Enter the weight for a single unit of your product. Weight is used to calculate truck fill
levels and weight-based transportation costs. You can use the English or metric system,
just be consistent throughout your model. Do not specify a unit of measure in this field
(e.g., 10 ton), just the numeric value.

Products

Cubic
Type: Number
Enter the cubic volume for each unit of product. Cubic is used to calculate truck fill levels
and cubic-based transportation costs. It is also used to calculate site space utilization
statistics. You can use the English or metric system, just be consistent throughout your
model. Do not enter a unit of measure, just the numeric value.

Type
Type: Special
The type field enables you to define the allowable quantity values for this product. Many
products must use specific quantity values. For example, if you are modeling a product
such as "airplane", it would not make sense to have ½ of an airplane. The Type can be
one of:
 Discrete – This value is typically used for products that are produced in integer
quantities. However, if you use the product in a Bill of Materials record, the Quantity
specified in the Bill Of Materials record is the smallest discrete value that can be used.
For example, if the Quantity of a Discrete component is .5, the quantity used cannot
be other than a multiple of .5. Network Optimization uses fractional values to satisfy
demand, even for products defined as Discrete.
 Continuous – Use this value for products that can have fractional values, such as
liquid chemicals.
The Expected Type <x> Service values in the Safety Stock Optimization output tables are
affected by the Product Type. The expected service values will be the same as the Target
Service Level for Continuous products, and greater than or equal to the Target Service
Level for Discrete products. The Type is used when Supply Chain Guru creates the final
results, by rounding up the Safety Stock value to an integer if the Type is Discrete.
If the field is left empty, then it is assumed to be Continuous.

Status
Type: Special
The status field allows you to specify whether a product is included or excluded from a
model simulation or optimization.
If the field is left blank, the product is assumed to be included.
If the product status is set to "Exclude", none of the policies that use this product will be
built, including inventory, sourcing, product-specific transportation policies, and
processes.

Class
Type: Number
Select the shipping class. Only use this field if your shipping policy is Less Than Truckload
(LTL). The National Motor Freight Classification Blue Book designates the shipping
category classification numbers.
The shipping class determines shipping costs for any product shipped as LTL.
The default is 77.5.

Shelf Life
Type: Number
As a product moves through the supply chain, its relative age is tracked and compared to
the Shelf Life. The Shelf Life field in the Products table determines the maximum number
of periods in which a product is able to satisfy demand. A common use is to limit how
early products can be pre-built. The value must be a non-negative integer. The Shelf Life
is an index into the period in which the product will expire. For example, if your model
uses monthly periods and the shelf life for a product is about 60 days (2 months), you
define the Shelf Life as 2. A value of 1 indicates the product expires within the current
period. If you enter 0, you are effectively saying that the product never expires (the
same as if Shelf Life is null).
Initial inventory is treated like it came into the system in the period before the model
starts (that is, period 0). If the Shelf Life value in the Products table is set to 1, the initial
inventory is already expired and never used. If the Shelf Life is set to 2, initial inventory
can be used to fulfill demand in period 1, but not 2, 3, and so on.

Note: The Hard Constraints tab of Optimization Options includes a Shelf Life constraint
that you can use to force Shelf Life to be a hard constraint during optimization.

If Shelf Life is defined for a product in the Products table, you cannot define Dwell
Time in the Inventory Policies table for the same product at any site.

Lead Time Cost/Day/Unit


Type: Number
Use this field to specify the cost of 1 day of lead time per unit of product. It is used in lead
time optimization. This field accepts positive values.

Capacity Period
Type: Text
Choose the period (Day, Week, Month (30 day), Quarter (91 day), or Year) over which the
cost numbers in the Fixed Operating <Cap,Cost> field is applied. If no Capacity Period is
specified, the default is the model period length.
The Fixed Startup <Cap,Cost> is applied over the model horizon.
In a simulation the Capacity Period property defines the interval/frequency with which
costs are calculated and reported.

Capacity Basis
Type: Text
Choose the unit measure you will use to determine the dimension of shipment capacity in
the Startup <Cap,Cost> and Operating <Cap,Cost> fields. Valid choices are:
 Quantity
 Weight
 Cubic
In Simulation, the Capacity Basis property specifies the manner which throughput is
accumulated and reported, which can be any of unit quantity, weight, or cubic volume.
Whatever the basis for throughput the accumulated value is used to look up the fixed
operating cost for the period.

Fixed Startup <Cap,Cost>


Type: Pairs
Fixed Startup allows you to specify a step cost for a potential facility opening at certain
levels. In this field, enter a function that defines the relationship between startup
capacities and startup cost. The function is specified by a series of coordinates. The first
number in the coordinate indicates shipment capacity. The second number indicates the
startup cost.
For example, an entry of <0,1000000> <500000,2000000> <750000, 2500000>
indicates that before any products can be shipped, an initial expenditure of $1,000,000
must be invested. In order to get capacity to more than 500,000 units, an initial
expenditure of $2,000,000 is needed. For capacity to be greater than 750,000, an initial
expenditure of $2,500,000 is required.
The Fixed Startup Cost is reflected in the Total Fixed Startup Cost in the Network
Summary output table.

Fixed Operating <Cap,Cost>


Type: Pairs
Fixed Operating allows you to specify operating costs for a facility. These costs can be
different for different levels of throughput. In this field, enter a function that defines the
relationship between operating capacity and operating costs. The function is specified by

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 9


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

a series of coordinate pairs. The first number in the pair indicates throughput capacity.
The second number indicates operating cost.
For example, an entry of <0, 1000000> <500000, 2000000> <15000000, INF>
indicates that there is an initial operating cost of $1,000,000 before any product is
shipped. When the capacity is more than 500,000, the operating cost increases to
$2,000,000. The maximum capacity is 15,000,000 as indicated with a cost of infinite
(INF). If the cost is INF for a certain capacity level, that capacity is considered as a hard
constraint.

Note: When you specify INF on fixed operating cost field, you are limiting the throughput
(sum of outflows from that site). This is not a constraint on the production
capacity at the site.

If you create capacity values that do not start with 0, the result is a conditional minimum
constraint for throughput at the site. For example, if you enter
<100,175000><250000,INF> for the Fixed Operating value on a site, if the site is used,
it must have throughput of at least 100 units.
In Simulation, a fixed operating cost is applied at the end of the Operating period
(specified in the Capacity Period field). The accumulated throughput for the period is used
to look up the cost for that same period.
When capacity for the current period is reached, no more shipments will depart until the
beginning of the next period. At this time, all pending shipments will be scheduled for
immediate departure.
The Fixed Operating Cost is reflected in the Total Fixed Operating Cost in the Network
Summary output table.

Closing Cost
Type: Number
Enter the monetary cost of shutting down operations at this site. In an optimization,
closing cost will be included if a site with the type Existing Facility is closed.

Apply Fixed <Cap,Cost> to Horizon


Type: Yes/No
In this field, select Yes or No from the drop down menu. When it is set to Yes, the
specified Cost and Capacity structure for the Fixed Operating Costs is applied over the
total length of the optimization. When periods are specified in the Multi-Time Periods
Table, and this field is set to No, the Cost and Capacity structure will be applied to each
individual period.

Expansion Only
Type: Yes/No
If set to Yes, then the site cannot close after it has already opened. This prevents the
model from opening a new site for excess capacity in one period, then closing it for the
next.

Note: Sites can only open once and close once in a model. This is regardless of whether
Expansion Only is set to Yes or No. A “Closed” site is a site that does not allow
product to flow in or out. If a site that is currently holding inventory is closed, the

inventory is held for the remaining periods in the model and will incur any
associated holding costs.

Capital Investment Basis


Type: Special
Select the basis to be used for the Capital Investment <Cap,Cost> value(s). Select one
of:
 Quantity
 Weight
 Cubic

Capital Investment <Cap,Cost>


Type: Pairs
Capital Investment allows you to add a cost of expansion to both potential and existing
facilities. This cost is applied at the throughput level and at all previous levels. For
example, you can use Capital Investment to figure out if an existing facility should spend
an investment cost to expand. Enter one or more sets of capacity and capital investment
pairs in the format:
<capacity1,cost1><capacity2,cost2><capacity3,cost3>
For example, if the capital investment for throughput over 1000 is 500, and 250 for
throughput over 5000, you would enter:
<1000,500><5000,250>
You can also use the field guru to input multiple values.

Note: INF is not allowed as a value for Cost. Use the Fixed Operating <Cap,Cost> field if
you want to constrain the capacity.

Book Value
Type: Special
Enter the value of the facility or work center at the start of each year for which you want
to track book value. If you want to enter values for a number of years, you can enter
them in the format:
<BookValue1|BookValue2|BookValue3>
For example, if the value is $1,000,000 in year 1, $800,000 in year 2, and $600,000 in
year 3, you would enter:
<1000000|800000|600000>
or
<1M|800K|600K>
where M represents Million and K represents Thousand.

Fixed CO2 <Cap,CO2>


Type: Pairs
The fixed CO2 field allows a user to specify levels of CO2 output based on the sites
throughput. This can be entered as a step function similar to site fixed operating costs.
Therefore, entering <0, 5000000><100000, 10000000> would represent 5000000 kg of
CO2 output from opening the site. If the site has a throughput of over 100,000 then the
CO2 output would be 10,000,000 kg.

Single Site Sourcing


Type: Yes/No
When this field is set to Yes, the site will be required to source all products from only a
single site for the model horizon. Even if a new site becomes available as a source in a
future period, Supply Chain Guru will not use this site to source products. You can
override the horizon-based sourcing restriction to force the constraint at a period level
using settings on the Constraints tab in the Optimization Options window.

Graphic, Graphic Color, Graphic Size


In these fields, choose how you want your site to appear on the Layout map. Graphic Size
is measured in points.

Note: It will be helpful to be consistent when choosing how your sites appear on the
Layout map. For example, you could choose to represent all existing facilities with
a red triangle 10 points in size and all potential facilities with blue squares 8 points
in size.

Latitude, Longitude
Type: Number
In these number fields, enter the latitude and longitude of your site location. The
software will fill in the latitude and longitude if you use the Field Guru in-cell button
located in the City, State, Country, or Postal Code field.

Weekly Schedule
Selecting a weekly work pattern requires the site to ship and receive orders only during
its specified work times during a weekly period.

Annual Schedule
This is used to change weekly schedules throughout the simulation. For example, a site
might only operate for three days during the a holiday week. In order to select an annual
schedule you must first populate it in the Annual Schedules table.

Order Queue Basis


Type: Special

12 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Sites

Defines the basis for queue statistics gathered by the Simulation Server. The order queue
is the queue that holds orders before they are processed by the Inventory Policy. These
queue statistics can be toggled on and off in the Simulation Options panel.

Back Order Queue Basis


Type: Special
Defines the basis for queue statistics gathered by the Simulation Server. The back order
queue holds back orders that await processing based on the way the site handles back
orders (Allow Back Orders, Cancel If Late, etc). These queue statistics can be toggled on
and off in the Simulation Options panel.

Inbound Shipment Queue Basis


Type: Special
Defines the basis for queue statistics gathered by the Simulation Server. The inbound
shipment queue holds shipments that the site is about to receive. These queue statistics
can be toggled on and off in the Simulation Options panel.

Outbound Shipment Queue Basis


Type: Special
Defines the basis for queue statistics gathered by the Simulation Server. The outbound
shipment queue holds shipments before they are sent to the lane queue. These queue
statistics can be toggled on and off in the Simulation Options panel.

Order Review Policy


Type: Special
This is the rule that controls the sequence in which a site reviews the orders it has
received. The value can be one of the following:
 FIFO – (First In First Out) The site will review the orders in the sequence they arrive.
This is the default rule if the field is left blank.
 Queue Only – Only queues the orders and does not pass them on. If this value is
used, the only way to remove orders from this queue would be through a custom
script.
 <Script Name> – If you have defined a custom script with a Type of “Order Queue
Review Policy”, it will appear in the drop down menu for this field.

Order Review Period


Type: Special
This is the specified interval that the Order Review Policy executes. If you leave this
value blank, Supply Chain Guru defaults to “Continuous” which means Supply Chain Guru
evaluates the order as soon as the site receives it.

Time Zone
Type: Text
This field specifies the time zone for the site. It is used to determine the local time for
route scheduling.
Vehicle Route Optimization uses a default of EST if no Time Zone is provided.

Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Asset Search Distance


Type: Number
This field specifies the range from a warehouse to search for equipment. For each
warehouse, all equipment available within the specified radius is considered. Equipment is
sorted by distance (closest first), then by priority (highest priority first), and then by
maximum capacity (largest first) in terms of maximum quantity, maximum weight, and
maximum cubic (maximum quantity is compared first, then maximum weight, and then
maximum cubic). If there is NO equipment available within the specified radius, and there
is a default equipment type defined in the Transportation Asset table, the default
equipment will be used. Default equipment always starts from the warehouse.

Fixed Service Time


Type: Number
This field specifies the fixed amount of service time at the site. It is applicable to warehouse, pickup
and delivery locations. The default unit for time fields is DAY.

Variable Service Time


Type: Number
This field specifies the variable amount of service time at the site. The total amount of
service time at the site = fixedServiceTime + (varServiceTime x total Quantity/or Weight/
or Cubic). The unit applied to the variable time is determined by the KeyUOM setting in
the Vehicle Route Optimization parameters. The default for this unit is Quantity. The
default unit for time fields is DAY.

Demand
Product Name
Type: Text
Enter the product that is being demanded.

Site Name
Type: Text
Enter the customer site that is requesting the product.
A Tip: You can select your Products and Sites from the drop-down list fields or enter the
first few letters of the product or site and Supply Chain Guru will find the first match from
the drop-down list.

Quantity
Type: Number or Distribution
If a probability distribution is specified, the quantity will be randomly selected each time
the demand requirement occurs in simulation. For optimization, the mean of the
distribution will be used as the demand amount. Use the field Guru for help inputting the
correct distribution.

Demand

Order Time
Type: Date
The order time is the date the order is placed if only one Occurrence is scheduled (see
Occurrences below). In Simulation, if more than one occurrence is scheduled, then the
Order Time field becomes the time of the first Order, and the Time Between Orders field
dictates the next time an order occurs.
Optimization currently only supports orders with one Occurrence.

Note: If you populate both Order Time and Order Time Formula, Supply Chain Guru uses
Order Time Formula when running Optimization or Simulation.

Safety Stock Optimization uses Order Time or Order Time Formula (not Due Date or Due
Date Formula) to do Demand Analysis.
For Vehicle Route Optimization, if you are using Demand to define your shipments, this
field specifies the start of the delivery time window for the shipment. The end of the
delivery time window is defined using Due Date.
If you want to change the Order Time through a scenario, you should use the Order Time
Formula field with numeric values, not the date-based Order Time field.

Order Time Formula


Type: Text
Specify a number or distribution that defines when the order is placed. In Simulation, if
more than one occurrence is scheduled, then the Order Time Formula field becomes the
time of the first Order, and the Time Between Orders field dictates the next time an order
occurs.
Optimization currently only supports orders with one Occurrence.

Note: If you populate both Order Time and Order Time Formula, Supply Chain Guru uses
Order Time Formula when running Optimization or Simulation.

Safety Stock Optimization uses Order Time or Order Time Formula (not Due Date or Due
Date Formula) to do Demand Analysis.
If you want to change the Order Time through a scenario, you should use the Order Time
Formula field with numeric values, not the date-based Order Time field.

Due Date
Type: Date
Used to specify the date by which an order must be filled.
In Simulation, the order cycle time is the period of time between the occurrence of the
order (Order Time or Order Time Formula) and the time the order was satisfied (arrives
at the customer and fulfills demand). When the order arrives at the customer, the current
time is checked and compared to the Due Date or Due Date Formula. This is how the
software determines if a shipment is on time or late.
In Optimization, the Due Date or Due Date Formula field can be used as a constraint. If
you populate the Due Date or Due Date Formula field for records in an optimization, and
then check "Classify Demand By Due Date" in the Optimization Options Constraints tab, it
will act as a constraint for flow on the customer flow (the last echelon of the model). The

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 15


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

demand with due date constraints will not be able to use any mode or lane that is longer
than the specified Due Date or Due Date Formula. For this feature, you must specify
dates in both the Order Time and Due Date fields and not populate the Order Time
Formula or Due Date Formula fields. If the Order Time Formula is set to a number, such
as 0 or 2, this feature will not work.

Note: If you populate both Due Date and Due Date Formula, Supply Chain Guru uses
Due Date Formula when running Optimization or Simulation.

For Vehicle Route Optimization, if you are using Demand to define your shipments, this
field specifies the end of the delivery time window for the shipment. The start of the
delivery time window is defined using Order Time.
If you want to change the Due Date through a scenario, you should use the Due Date
Formula field with numeric values, not the date-based Due Date field.

Due Date Formula


Type: Number or Distribution
Used to specify when an order must be filled.
In Simulation, the order cycle time is the period of time between the occurrence of the
order (Order Time or Order Time Formula) and the time the order was satisfied (arrives
at the customer and fulfills demand). When the order arrives at the customer, the current
time is checked and compared to the Due Date or Due Date Formula. This is how the
software determines if a shipment is on time or late.
In Optimization, the Due Date or Due Date Formula field can be used as a constraint. If
you populate the Due Date or Due Date Formula field for records in an optimization, and
then check "Classify Demand By Due Date" in the Optimization Options Constraints tab, it
will act as a constraint for flow on the customer flow (the last echelon of the model). The
demand with due date constraints will not be able to use any mode or lane that is longer
than the specified Due Date or Due Date Formula. For this feature, you must specify
dates in both the Order Time and Due Date fields and not populate the Order Time
Formula or Due Date Formula fields. If the Order Time Formula is set to a number, such
as 0 or 2, this feature will not work.

Note: The default Due Date Formula unit is DAY. If you do not enter a time unit, the
software assumes the Due Date Formula is measured in days.

If Due Date Formula is left Blank, the software assumes the order is due
immediately when demand occurs.

For example:

If you want the Due Date to occur: Enter

As soon as an order is placed 0 or leave blank

1 day after the order is placed 1Day

Set the actual day it is due Use the Due Date field

For Vehicle Route Optimization, if you are using Demand to define your shipments, this

defined using Order Time. If you enter a distribution, this is applied as a Mean, similar to
how distributions are applied in Network Optimization.
If you want to change the Due Date through a scenario, you should use the Due Date
Formula field with numeric values, not the date-based Due Date field.

Occurrences
Type: Number or Text
Enter how many times this demand requirement will occur. A demand must occur at least
once. When you enter a number greater than one, demand will occur multiple times.
For example:

If you want the Occurrences to take place: Enter

1 time 1 or leave blank

10 times 10

As long as the simulation runs INF

Note: If you are defining demand by using a pattern, you do not need to enter the
Occurrences or Time Between Orders. The pattern specifies this for you. The
software will ignore data entered in these fields.

Time Between Orders


Type: Time
For Simulation, the Time Between Orders field is used to specify the time between
multiple orders. In this number/time/distribution, enter how much time must pass
between each recurring demand. For example, Time Between Orders can be 24 HR,
meaning that orders recur every 24 hours for as many occurrences specified.
For Optimization, the Time Between Orders is ignored. The total demand based on
Quantity and Occurrences is put into the period for which the demand is specified based
on the Order Time or Order Time Formula field.

Note: You must enter data in this field if the Occurrences are greater than 1. If you do
not enter Time Between Orders and demand recurs, the software will assume that
this demand happens once a day.

Time Between Orders examples are in the following table.

Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Note: If you are defining demand by using a pattern, you do not need to enter a data in
the Occurrences or Time Between Orders fields. The pattern specifies this for you.

Pattern
Type: Text
Allows patterns of demand to be distributed over periods of time. Pattern represents a
predefined set of occurrences, instead of a single occurrence.

Note: If you are defining demand by using the Occurrences and Time Between Orders,
you do not need to enter data in the Pattern field.

Pattern is directly related to Quantity. The pattern you select will take the total aggregate
quantity stated in the Quantity field and spread it out, as evenly as possible, over the
desired time frame. If the product type is set as Discrete, the actual order quantity is the
rounded value of (Quantity/the number of occurrences in the Pattern). If the product type
is set as Continuous, the actual order quantity is (Quantity/the number of occurrences in
the Pattern).

Note: If you specify a pattern, the Quantity field must be a number. Distribution
functions are not allowed in conjunction with patterns.

Pattern examples are in the following table.

forecasting run or a database query.

Mode
Type: Special
Enter the mode for the demand to use. This will assign the Mode of transportation for this
order in both optimization and simulation.
For Vehicle Route Optimization, Demand with the same Mode value will be pooled
together and routed on equipment with the same Mode as specified in the Asset
Availability table.

Order Number

Enter an order number. If an order number is populated, the order number will be traced
through the simulation as long as the facilities the order sources through have inventory
policies of "Demand Flow" for the product. This is property is accessible when using
scripting in simulation as well.

Priority

Enter an order number indicating priority.
Simulation: This is property is accessible when using scripting in simulation. Aside from
use in simulation scripting, it does not have any direct functionality.
Vehicle Route Optimization: Use this value to set the priority for routing the shipment
(lower numbers have a higher priority). The priority is assessed per pool site.

Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Unit Price
Type: Number
A customer specific price can be defined for one unit of the product being demanded in
this number field. This number will then be used to calculate revenue generated by this
site by demanding this specific product instead of the value listed in the Price field of this
product on the Products Table.
If you set Unit Price for one or more entries in the Demand table, be aware of the
following Optimization behavior:
 When the Unit Price field is left blank for all Demand records, the Price field of the
Products table will be used to calculate revenue.
 If you have multiple entries in the Demand table for the same Period for the same
Site-Product-Mode combination, and one of them uses the Unit Price field, then this
price is used to override the price of the Products table for this Site-Product-Mode
combination for the whole demand amount in that period. This is because
optimization works on aggregates and not individual orders.
 If you have multiple entries in the Demand table for the same Period for the same
Site-Product-Mode combination, and a number of these use the Unit Price field,
Supply Chain Guru uses the straight average of these Unit Price numbers for the
entire demand amount in that Period for this Site-Product-Mode combination.
 The Price is a weighted average of the Demand records per Customer-Product-Mode
created over each period. The weighting of this value takes into consideration demand
quantity and occurrences.

Note: The Flow Revenue on Customer Flows records is Mode-specific.

Unit Weight
Type: Number
Simulation: A customer specific weight can be defined for one unit of the product being
demanded in this number field. This number will then be used to calculate shipment

Sourcing Policies

Cancel If Late
Type: Yes/No
If set to Yes, the customer order will be canceled if it cannot be delivered on time (i.e.
before the DUE DATE); this is determined at the site that ships to the customer. If the site
can not ship the item in time to the customer, the order will be dropped.

Earliest Pickup Date


Type: Date
This field determines the earliest pickup date and time for the shipment. If no value is
specified, Vehicle Route Optimization uses the Begin Time Horizon parameter (defaults to
Model Horizon Start Date).

Earliest Pickup Date Formula


Type: Number or Distribution
Not Currently Used: This field determines the earliest pickup date and time for the
shipment. If no value is specified, Vehicle Route Optimization uses the Begin Time
Horizon parameter (defaults to Model Horizon Start Date).

Latest Pickup Date


Type: Date
This field determines the latest pickup date and time for the shipment. If no value is
specified, Vehicle Route Optimization uses the End Time Horizon parameter (defaults to
Model Horizon End Date).

Latest Pickup Date Formula


Type: Number or Distribution
This field determines the latest pickup date and time for the shipment. Enter the number
of days to add to the start of the pickup time window. If no value is specified, Vehicle
Route Optimization uses the End Time Horizon parameter (defaults to Model Horizon End
Date). If you enter a distribution, this is applied as a Mean.

Sourcing Policies
The Sourcing Policies table has a different role for Network Optimization, Safety Stock
Optimization, and Simulation. The fields used by the different design engines are

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 21


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Production Time, Production Time per Unit, Order Processing Time, Order Processing
Time Per Unit, and Source Lead Time:

Network Optimization Sourcing Policies


Network Optimization uses only one of the five fields – Production Time. Its primary use
is to specify how much time is actually available for production of products over a time
period. If a Process is specified, the process time (Work Time Per Unit) defined in the
Processes table is used instead of Production Time.

Safety Stock Optimization Sourcing Policies


Safety Stock Optimization uses the Source Lead Time, which is additional to the
Production Time for Make policies. Source Lead Time plus Production Time is the time
taken from the receipt of the production order to the produced product.
In addition, Safety Stock Optimization uses the Transport Time on the Transportation
Policies when determining the overall lead time for the product.

Simulation Sourcing Policies


Simulation uses the Production Time, the Production Time Per Unit, the Order Processing
Time, and the Order Processing Time Per Unit. These elements are used in the discrete
event planning system on which the Supply Chain Guru Simulation engine is based.

Sourcing Policy Fields

Sourcing Policies

Product Name
Type: Text
Enter the product for which the sourcing policy is being applied to.

Sourcing Policy
Type: Text
Choose a sourcing policy.

Policy Parameter
Type: Number
Used in conjunction with the "Multiple Sources" sourcing policies.
 Multiple Sources (Order of Preference) – The site selects the source based on the
order defined in the Policy Parameter field.
 Multiple Sources (Probability) – For Simulation, the source for the site’s order is
selected randomly based on the probabilities specified in the Policy Parameter field.
For Optimization, the order is divided based on the percentages specified in the Policy
Parameter field, and then sourced out to the respective sources. As an example, enter
50 to represent 50%. The Policy Parameter values should add up to 100, which
represents 100%.
 Multiple Sources (Split By Ratio) – For Simulation, the order is split according to the
value you set in the Policy Parameter field. For Optimization, the order is divided
according to the percentages specified in the Policy Parameter field, and then sourced
out to the respective sources. As an example, enter 50 to represent 50%. The Policy
Parameter values should add up to 100, which represents 100%.

Source Name
Type: List
Choose a site that can fill this replenishment order, or a work center that has a process
record for this product.

Note: If using the Make souring policy, this field can be left blank.

BOM Name
Type: Text
Choose the BOM Name for the end product you are making.
This may be used when defining a ’Make’ sourcing policy. If the end product defined in
this ’Make’ sourcing policy is made up of component products from further upstream in
the model, a Bill of Materials data table can be defined along with this ’Make’ sourcing
policy.
The Make policy tells the software that this end product is being made at that particular
site, while the BOM Name tells the software to look at the relevant BOM for the amount of
component product(s) that is required to make that particular end product.
You can optionally define a byproduct as part of the Bill of Materials.
Any subsequent order for the end product with a BOM will trigger an inventory check for
its component products. The corresponding inventory policy for the component

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 23


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

product(s) at that site will then decide if a replenishment order should be placed for the
component product(s).

Note: If using the make policy, you should have listed all components of your product in
the Bill of Materials data table.

Process
Type: Text
In this field, select the process name that the product has to go through while at this
particular site. This process can be chosen from the drop-down list in this field. Processes
have to be specified on the Processes Table, and may have an associated Workcenter(s).
If you define multiple Make Sourcing Policies for a Site-Product combination, if any of
these sourcing policy records includes a Process, the Process will be used during the
solve. This is the case, even if use of the policy with the Process results in a higher cost
solution.

Note: If you exclude a process, either in the Processes table or through a Scenario,
sourcing policies using this process are not excluded. The sourcing policy is still
available, but it will not use the process. In most cases, this has the effect of
making the model less costly and less constrained.

If you delete a process, you are prompted if you want to delete rows from dependent
tables (in this case, the Sourcing Policies table). However, rows are not actually deleted
from the Sourcing Policies table when you confirm the deletion. Instead, as when you
exclude the process, the process is no longer used by sourcing policies. The sourcing
policies are still available, but they will not be using a process.

Avg Unit Cost


Type: Number
This field specifies the average cost per unit for sourcing to be used in the network
optimization run.
When a Sourcing Policy is set to 'Make', Avg Unit Cost specifies the average cost of
producing a single unit of the Sourcing Policy's product. You can specify a different cost to
produce products at different facilities.
If the Sourcing Policy has a Process defined, the Cost Per Unit value from the Processes
table overrides the Avg Unit Cost.
When a Sourcing Policy is set to a policy other than 'Make', Avg Unit Cost specifies the
average cost of sourcing a single unit of the sourcing policy's product between the source
site and destination site. Sourcing costs are generally any cost associated with using the
lane such as tariffs, fees, or other overhead costs, but not the cost of physically
transporting the product.
Alternatively, instead of having a simple constant cost, you can set up a cost schedule,
using quantity break points and different costs with the Guru bracketed format, such as
<0,1.50> <5000, 1.25> <10000, 1.00>. In this example, if you are using incremental
discounts, the sourcing cost per unit is 1.50 for units 0 through to 5,000, 1.25 for units
5,000 through to 10,000, and 1.00 for units 10,000 and up. For an order consisting of
20,000 units, the total cost will be: (5,000-0)*1.50 + (10,000-5,000)*1.25 + (20,000-
10,000)*1.00 = 23,750.

24 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Sourcing Policies

Note: The example shows incremental discounts. You can use all-item discounts rather
than incremental discounts.

Simulation and optimization handle costs differently. Simulation costs are calculated on a
per order basis for each individual order (using the Sourcing Cost value). Optimization
costs are calculated using the aggregate flow quantity for the time period (using the Avg
Unit Cost value). Thus, when using quantity-cost break points, you will use different
break points for simulation and optimization.

Apply Cost To Horizon


Type: Yes/No
When set to Yes, the specified Avg Unit Cost will be calculated over the total length of the
optimization. When periods are specified in the Periods Table, and this field is set to No,
the Avg Unit Cost will be applied to each individual period.
This setting matters for the total costs only if the Avg Unit Cost specified is a stepwise
function. If the Avg Unit Cost is a numeric value, the total Production/Sourcing costs will
be the same whether the model is a single-time or multi-time period model.

Sourcing Unit Cost


Type: Number or Distribution
Enter the unit cost of production if it is made at this site.
Alternatively, instead of having a simple constant cost, you can set up a cost schedule,
using quantity break points and different costs, with the Guru bracketed format, such as
<0, 1.50> <50, 1.25> <100, 1.00>. In this example, the sourcing cost per unit is 1.50
if the order quantity is between 0 and 50, 1.25 for quantities between 50 and 100, and
1.00 for quantities greater than 100.

Note: You should always make the first cost in a cost lookup function start with a
quantity of zero, such as <0, 1.50>.

Sourcing Order Cost


Type: Number or Distribution
Enter the cost of production of an order if it is made at this site.
Alternatively, instead of having a simple constant cost, you can set up a cost schedule,
using quantity break points and different costs, with the Guru bracketed format, such as
<0, 1.50> <50, 1.25> <100, 1.00>. In this example, the sourcing cost per order is 1.50
if the number of orders is between 0 and 50, 1.25 if the number of orders is between 50
and 100, and 1.00 for numbers of orders greater than 100.

Source Lead Time


Type: Number or Distribution
Simulation and Safety Stock Optimization: If using a Make sourcing policy, enter the
preparation time per order. This is independent of the number of items in an order. For
example, it may take 5 hours to prepare a machine before items are produced.
If receiving a product from outside, enter the time it takes to issue an order. For example,
it may take 2 hours to do the paperwork for an order.

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 25


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Note: To determine Lead Time for Safety Stock Optimization:


For Make policies for Site-Product pairs, Lead Time = Source Lead Time +
Production Time + Review Period (from Inventory Policies table).
For lanes, Lead Time = Source Lead Time + Transport Time + Review Period.
Total Lead Time in HR will be rounded up to DAY.

Network Optimization: Source Lead Time is not used.

Order Processing Time


Type: Number or Distribution
Defines the amount of time taken before an order is evaluated after it is received at the
source. This time is elapsed and considered only in Simulation.

Order Processing Time Per Unit


Type: Number or Distribution
Defines the amount of time taken per unit before an order is evaluated after it is received
at the source. This time is elapsed and considered only in Simulation.

Production Time
Type: Number or Distribution
Simulation: Defines the amount of time taken at a production node in simulation to
produce the finished product, if specific production processes are not implemented. This
is the time between the evaluation of the order and the finished goods' completion. The
default unit for this value is DAYS.
Network Optimization: Defines how much time is actually available for production of
products over a time period. If a Process is specified, the process time (Work Time Per
Unit) defined in the Processes table is used instead of Production Time.

Note: For Network Optimization, the Production Time must be an integer.

Production Time Per Unit


Type: Number or Distribution
Defines the amount of time taken at a production node in simulation to produce each unit
of finished product, if specific production processes are not implemented. This is the time
elapsed from the order receipt or previous production to the finished good's completion.

Max Sourcing Distance


In this number field, enter the maximum distance allowed between source and
destination sites for the product. In an optimization, the software will limit the sourcing
alternatives to those within the maximum distance radius.

Note: Entering 0 or leaving Max Sourcing Distance blank does not impose any
constraint.

Type: Number
Denote the size of the lot for this source.

Allow Back Orders


Type: Yes/No
Choose whether to allow back orders for orders coming from customer sites. If a site
does not have enough inventory to fill the order:
 Yes – holds the unfilled orders until they can be filled; this is a back order.
 No – deletes orders that cannot be filled. This will result in lost revenues.

Probability of Balking
Type: Number
Represents the probability that an order that cannot be filled will be rejected (rather than
backordered; assuming this is allowed) resulting in lost demand.

Days Between Productions


Type: Number
Represents the number of days between production occurring at manufacturing sites that
have make policies. This field is used to calculate the amount of cycle stock that should
be held at the manufacturing sites, equivalent to the number of units produced divided by
the number of production turns that occur during the time period.
Safety Stock Optimization: Days Between Productions is used for demand propagation
and safety stock optimization. For safety stock calculation, when the Service Definition is
Type 2 or Type 3, this value is used to derive the Min Replenishment Qty. For additional
information, refer to Inventory Policy Details.

Guaranteed Service Time


Type: Text
The Guaranteed Service Time is used to determine if the Source site can provide the
Product to the Destination within this time frame. If this is not possible, the order is
considered to have been missed and the Fill Rate may decrease. The Guaranteed Service
Time is in terms of days. It is calculated on a Source-Destination-Product basis.

Minimum Order Qty


Type: Number

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 27


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

This is the order quantity used when calculating Cycle Stock and for use in Demand
Analysis and Safety Stock Optimization.
When calculating Cycle Stock, provide a Minimum Order Qty or populate the Days
Between Replenishments field in the Transportation Policies table, or both. Supply Chain
Guru takes the Days Between Replenishment and multiplies it by the average daily flow
to the site. Cycle stock is then calculated by taking the maximum of this product and the
Minimum Order Quantity, if specified, and dividing by two.

Note: Minimum Order Qty does not apply to lanes that serve Customers. Cycle Stock is
not calculated at the Customer sites.

In Demand Analysis, if you do not specify a Minimum Order Qty in the Sourcing Policies
table, Supply Chain Guru uses a default of 1 for demand propagation. If Minimum Order
Qty or Days Between Replenishment or both are not specified, Supply Chain Guru uses
Type 1 service to set the safety stock since the batch size is not known. In Safety Stock
Optimization, Type 2 and Type 3 service require either the Minimum Order Qty (Sourcing
Policies) or one of Days between Replenishments (Transportation Policies) or Days
Between Productions (Sourcing Policies) to recommend a batch size.

Inventory Policy Description

R,Q R,Q is a fixed replenishment point/fixed replenishment


quantity inventory policy. When the inventory level on-hand
falls below a certain replenishment point, R, the site will
generate a replenishment order for a certain quantity, Q, of
this product. When using this policy, the Reorder Point field is
set as the trigger level. The Reorder/Order Up To Qty field will
be the exact number of units reordered.

s,S s,S is a minimum/maximum inventory policy. When the


inventory level on-hand falls below a minimum, s, the site will
generate a request for a replenishment order that will restore
the on-hand inventory to a target, or maximum, number, S.
When using this policy, the Reorder Point field is the minimum,
or trigger level. The Reorder/Order Up To Qty field is the
maximum, or the number to which the inventory level is
restored.
The main difference between s,S and R,Q is that the s,S takes
into account exactly how far below the reorder level the
inventory is when the request for replenishment is generated.
The R,Q will always generate a reorder for exactly the value of
Reorder/Order Up To Qty.
The behavior of the system depends on how often inventory is
checked. So, it is important to select the appropriate Review
Period.

Demand Flow In Demand Flow policy, there is no strict inventory control.


Instead, every order that arrives at this site for this product
will generate a request for a replenishment order for the exact
same quantity. All requests are driven by the actual demand
quantities received at this site for this product. Therefore, the
Reorder Point and Reorder/Order Up To Qty fields are not used
in this policy.
However, you should still establish an initial inventory level. By
establishing an initial inventory level, the site will always
replenish exactly what was consumed by actual demand,
whether it was filled immediately, or left unfilled as a back
order.
Though it seems straightforward, Demand Flow can exhibit
complex behavior, especially when combined with Review
Period. Defining a Review Period can produce batching.
Batching occurs when the replenishment orders accumulate
during the Review Period ends and are then filled.

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 29


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Inventory Policy Description

DOS - Demand Days of Supply (DOS) - Demand Based is similar to an s,S


Based inventory policy except that the parameters for minimum and
maximum levels are specified in number of days rather than
product quantities. This policy computes the daily average of
product by looking back at the actual demand. How far back to
look is given by the DOS Window field.

DOS - Forecast DOS - Forecast Based is similar to an s,S inventory policy


Based except that the parameters for minimum and maximum levels
are specified in number of days rather than product quantities.
This policy computes the daily average of product by looking
forward and using forecasted demand. How far forward to look
is given by the DOS Window field. Forecast quantities must be
entered into the Forecasts table.
In short, DOS-Demand establishes inventory based on what
has happened; DOS-Forecast establishes inventory based on
what you expect to happen.

R,Q - Targets The R,Q - Targets inventory policy allows the user to change
the Reorder Point (R) and Reorder Quantity (Q) based on a
period of time designated by the user (year, quarter, month,
day, etc.)
When using the R,Q - Targets inventory policy, the quantities
and period are specified in the Forecasts input table.

s,S - Targets The regular s,S policy is a minimum/maximum inventory policy


that says that when the inventory on-hand falls below a certain
minimum s, the site will request for a replenishment order that
will restore the on-hand inventory to a maximum number, S.
s,S - Targets inventory policy is just like the regular s,S policy
except that you can specify Reorder Point (s) and Order up to
Quantity (S) for certain periods. You can define the period as
days, weeks, months, years, quarters etc.
When using the s,S - Targets inventory policy, the quantities
and period are specified in the Forecasts input table.

Inventory Policies

Inventory Policy Description

T,S The periodic review order up to level (T, S) policy is relatively


simple and reflects real world practices to a great extent. This
policy is preferred in an intermittent demand context since it
facilitates the consolidation of shipments from suppliers and it
is associated with the optimization of one single parameter
(the order up to level). Transportation Guru uses this policy to
handle the Lumpy demand class, the most difficult of the
classes. The periodic policy provides the convenience of
regular ordering days for the stock list and for the supplier who
can plan efficient routing of the delivery vehicles.

BaseStock Basestock policy is useful when economies of scale in the


supply system are negligible relative to other factors. For
example, when each individual unit is very valuable, holding
and backorder costs dominate any fixed order costs. A
basestock policy is also recommended for a slow-moving
product where the economics of the situation rule out large
batch sizes. In some cases, there is a natural quantity unit for
both demand supply (for example, a truckload), and in terms
of that unit it makes sense to set Q=1. Basestock policy is
associated with the optimization of a single parameter. This
policy is recommended with a Continuous Review Period in
order to improve the reaction time.
Basestock is a continuous review (R,Q) policy with a Min
Replenishment Qty (Q) equal to 1.

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 31


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Review Period
Type: Text
Enter how often inventory level is checked to see if a replenishment order is necessary.
Options for review period are Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly, and Continuous. Continuous
means that every order that arrives will cause the inventory level at that site to be
checked to see if a replenishment order is necessary.
For many supply chains, automated inventory tracking means that they continuously
check the inventory level, replenishing almost the instant that the level falls below the
Reorder Point. However, there are also cases where the actual behavior of the system is
really better represented by a periodic review system.
For example, your Lemonade Stand always knows how much inventory is on-hand, but
only wants to replenish once a day. In this case, a Review Period of Daily would result in
product being reordered once a day, but only if needed. How much is ordered depends on
the policy you have defined.
The review period can be set to a pre-defined interval, set to one value, or assigned a
schedule as well. See the table below for how to enter data:

Value Examples Parameter use

Interval Continuous, Daily, The inventory level is evaluated at each pre-defined


Weekly interval.

Single 12 HR The inventory level is evaluated every interval value (for


Value 1 DAY example, every 12 hours).

Repeating 1 DAY, 3 DAY, 2 DAY The inventory level is reviewed after one day, then
Schedule reviewed again 3 days after the first review, and again 2
days after the second review. The schedule is repeated
upon completion.

If the review period has a value entered in it (i.e. 12 Hour or 1 Day etc), the inventory
level is checked as specified by the interval in the review period. (If the review period is
12 Hour, the inventory level will be evaluated every 12 hours).
The review period also supports a repeating schedule. The format is the same as a single
value in the review period, except a comma is placed between the single values. An
example follows:
1 Day, 3 Day, 2 Day
In the above example, a Review of the queue will occur after one day. Then the next
review will occur 3 Days after the first review. Then the third review will occur 2 Days
after the second. When the schedule completes, it repeats itself.
Review periods themselves are dependent on the start time of simulation. For example,
assume the start time set in the Model Options is 12:00 AM 1/1/2010, and the review
period is set to 24 HR. The inventory level will be reviewed every day at 12:00 AM. An
offset can be entered in front of the review period to change the time the model will start
reviewing. The offset will only be incurred once.
For example, if we would like to Review the inventory level every day at 4 PM, and our
simulation starts at 12 AM, an offset of 16 hours can be entered to shift the review time
to 4 PM. Then, if we have 24 hour review period, it will check every 24 hours from the
time to which it was offset. The format for the offset is as follows: < "Time" >
For the a 16 hour offset, with a daily review you would enter: <16 HR>, 24 HR.

 Exclude - This inventory policy is to be excluded in a simulation or optimization run.

Initial Inventory
Type: Number
Enter how many units of this product is on-hand at this site when the simulation begins
running.

Note: If no data are entered, Supply Chain Guru assumes there are zero units on-hand
when the simulation or network optimization begins.

In supply chain simulation, you are starting from scratch each time. Although your model
will quickly conform to a real world situation, at time zero, there will likely be differences
between the model and the real world. You can counteract some of these differences by
setting initial inventory levels in your model.

Note: In simulation, inventory holding costs can be incurred at a site that has a Status of
"Closed" if the site had initial inventory and if the Inventory Carrying Cost % > 0
or the Product Value > 0.

Safety Stock Optimization does not consider Initial Inventory.

Capacity is measured. If no Capacity Period is specified, the default is the model period
length.

Capacity Basis
Type: Text
Enter the unit in which capacity is measured. Capacity can be measured in:
 Quantity - how many units
 Weight - how much the product weighs
 Cubic - the cubic volume of product.
For example, a Capacity of 500, a Capacity Period of Month, and a Capacity Basis of
Quantity means that the maximum capacity this site can ship is 500 units of product per
month.

Inv Turns
Type: Pairs or Number
This field allows you to specify a (piecewise) linear function from which the average
inventory can be calculated during optimization.
We define the following relationship between Average Inventory and Throughput:
Average Inventory = m times Throughput
Where m is the inverse of the inventory turns value.
We allow Average Inventory to be defined over multiple ranges of Throughput. The
format for the relationship is a series of pairs <lower range value, turns value>.
Consider the sample graph below. Up to 1000, the Average Inventory is (1/5) *
Throughput. Between 1000 and 3000, the Average Inventory is (1/8) * Throughput + 75.
After 3000, the Average Inventory is (1/15) * Throughput + 250. This relationship is to
be entered as <0,5><1000,8><3000,15>. In the case the relationship between Average
Inventory and Throughput is simply linear, it is sufficient to input the turns value (inverse
slope) of this line; for example, 5.

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 35


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Note: In a multi-period model, setting Inv Turns in the Inventory Policies table affects
only the first period. If you want to set inventory turns in other periods, use the
Inventory Policies Multi-Period table to control the Inv Turns per period.

Inv Carrying Cost %


Type: Number
Specifies the cost percentage for holding inventory of specified product at this site during
the optimization run. This percentage and the Product Value are used to calculate
inventory holding costs. If the inventory carrying cost percentage is 10%, enter "10" in
this field. If this value is not specified, the Inv Carrying Cost % defined in Model Options
is used.
Inv Carrying Cost % is reflected in the Total Inv Holding Cost in the Network Summary
output table.

Min Dwell Time


This field determines the minimum number of periods in which a product must stay at the
site. The value must be a non-negative integer. For example, if the Min Dwell Time is set
to 2, and the product is produced in Period_001, it must remain in inventory at the site
for Period_002 and Period_003 before being used to fulfill demand.

Note: If Shelf Life is defined for a product in the Products table, you cannot define Dwell
Time for the same product at any site.

Max Dwell Time


This field determines the maximum number of periods in which a product can stay at the
site. The intent of this value is to push a product out of the site after the number of
periods specified by Max Dwell Time. A common use is to limit how early products can be
prebuilt. The value must be a non-negative integer. A value of 0 means the product
cannot be pre-built at all; it can only be produced in the same period in which it is
demanded. Initial inventory is treated like it came into the system in the period before
the model starts (that is, period 0). If the Max Dwell Time value in Inventory Policies is
set to 1, this initial inventory can be used to fulfill demand in period 1, but not period 2,
or subsequent periods. If the Max Dwell Time is set to 2, initial inventory can be used to
fulfill demand in periods 1 and 2, but not 3, 4, and so on.

Note: If Shelf Life is defined for a product in the Products table, you cannot define Dwell
Time for the same product at any site.

Max Inv Qty


Type: Number
Specifies the maximum number of units of specified product that this site can stock.

Min Inv Qty


Type: Number
Specifies the minimum number of units of specified product that this site is required to
stock.

Inventory Policies

Safety Stock
Type: Number
Specifies the quantity or Days of Supply (depending on the Safety Stock Basis) that will
be held in inventory. This value can be changed by period in the Multi-Period Inventory
Policies table. This field is an input for Network Optimization. To calculate this value, use
Safety Stock Optimization.

Disposal Cost
Type: Number
Enter the disposal cost that is incurred when the shelf life expires for this by-product at
this site. You can control the disposal cost per period by setting a Disposal Cost in the
Inventory Policies Multi-Period table.
Supply Chain Guru supports disposal cost both for products that expire based on their
shelf life and those by-products that are trash (not expired)
 Expired Products – If the by-product reaches its shelf life before the model ends, it is
an expired product. You can define a disposal cost that is incurred when the shelf life
of a by-product expires within the model horizon. Supply Chain Guru will determine
whether it is cheaper to incur the disposal cost and get rid of the product, or hold it in
inventory based on inventory and production costs.
The Disposal Cost field in the Inventory Policies and Inventory Policies Multi-Period
tables enable you to set a disposal cost per product per site for each time period. You
must define Inventory Policies for products that can expire, even if you are not
applying a Disposal Cost.
For expired products, the cost is reported in the Flow Transportation Cost field on the
Customer Flows Optimization Output table, for a flow with a Customer named "Trash".
The Mode is “EXPIRED PRODUCT”.

Note: The Disposal Cost fields for product expiration are available as target fields when
creating Input Pipes.

 Trashed Products – A by-product is considered trash if it has not reached its expiration
date (end of shelf life) by the end of the model and if there are no Inventory Policies
defined for the product. If there are Inventory Policies defined, it is assumed that the
by-product should be held in inventory, rather than trashed. In this case, an inventory
holding cost may be incurred.
If a by-product is to be trashed (that is, no Inventory Policies have been defined), you
can define a disposal cost to be incurred for an unexpired by-product, in other words
the cost to dispose of by-products created as part of your Bills of Material. This is
referred to as a “trashing cost” and applies to unused, unexpired by-product. You
specify this using the “Disposal cost per unit of by-product” on the Modeling Options
tab of Optimization Options.
The disposal cost for trashed products is reported in the Flow Transportation Cost field
on the Customer Flows Optimization Output table, for a flow with a Customer named
"Trash". The Mode is “UNUSED PRODUCT”.

Product Value
Type: Number

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 37


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Data: Enter a monetary value for each unit. The Product Value field is used to calculate
the inventory investment and inventory holding costs. This enables you to vary the
product value at a specific site by time period. It is incorporated in the following formula:
Inventory holding cost = Inventory Quantity * Product value * Holding Cost Percentage *
Length of Time in Inventory
The Product Value in the Inventory Policies table overrides the Product Value in the
Products table for Network Optimization. In Simulation, the Product Value in the Products
table is always used.

Inv Cost Other


Type: Number
Specifies any additional inventory costs associated with carrying cost not covered by
other categories. Enter the cost per unit of inventory per period.

Stocking Site
Type: Boolean
Use this field to determine if a site can hold safety or prebuilt stock. The default value is
Yes. This setting is used in Network Optimization and Safety Stock Optimization. In
Network Optimization, if this value is set to No, a site can incur inbound and outbound
warehousing costs only.
Safety Stock Optimization: If Stocking Site is set to “No”, this site is still considered
during demand propagation although no safety stock is held at the site.

Safety Stock Basis


Type: Special
This field determines the basis used to calculate Safety Stock. Qty means that the
optimization will use the value to represent the actual quantity, and DOS means that the
value is in terms of days of supply.

Note: DOS is not equivalent to Coverage. DOS is another measurement of safety stock
quantity in time.

For Network Optimization, this field specifies how the number in Safety Stock number
field will be interpreted.
For Safety Stock Optimization, it specifies how the Min Safety Stock and Max Safety
Stock constraints will be applied.

Service Requirement
Type: Number
Specifies the required service level of the product for customer-facing sites. The number
must be input as a fraction - that is, 95% would be input as .95, not 95 in the table. A
Service Requirement value of .50 ensures that no safety stock is held (that is, if the
service definition is Type 1). If no service requirements are specified at any site, the
service requirement will default to 95%for the customer facing facilities. If Service
Requirements are not specified upstream from a site where a Service Requirement is
specified, service level propagation is applied.

38 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Inventory Policies

Min and Max Safety Stock


Type: Number
Specifies constraints on the safety stock for the product-location combination. Max Safety
Stock is a constraint that will be respected if it does not lead to infeasibility. In the case of
an infeasibility, the constraint is relaxed (treated as a soft constraint) so that it does not
cause the infeasibility. Min Safety Stock and Max Safety Stock are determined based on
the Safety Stock Basis (Qty or DOS).

Min and Max Service Time


Type: Number
Specifies hard constraints for the service time the site quotes to its downstream sites.
This time is in units of DAY. For these fields, enter the number of days (do not specify a
time unit). Min Service Time and Max Service Time can lead to infeasibility.

Allow Partial Fill


Type: Yes/No
Choose whether orders can be partially filled. The default for this field is Yes.

Forecast Name
Type: Text
In this field choose the Forecast you want to use for a DOS - Forecast Based inventory
policy or the targets for an R,Q-Targets or s,S-Targets inventory policy. These forecasts
can be specified on the Forecast Table.

DOS Window
Type: Number
For Simulation, this is used for the DOS Demand-Based and DOS Forecast-Based
inventory policies. If using the DOS Demand Based inventory policy, enter the number of
days to look back on to calculate average daily demand. If using the DOS Forecast Based
inventory policy, enter the number of days to look ahead to calculate average daily
demand.
When using a DOS-Demand based policy, if the number of days the simulation has run is
less than the DOS Window, the window will be automatically adjusted to the number of
days passed during the simulation run. For DOS-Forecast based policies, if the remaining
time is less than the DOS Window, the new DOS window will be automatically adjusted to
the remaining days left in the simulation.

Consignment Cost
Type: Number
Enter the outbound handling cost of a shipment of this product.

Consignment Unit Cost


Type: Number
Enter the outbound handling cost of one unit of this product.

Unit Delay Factor


Type: Number or Distribution
The field specifies the unit delay factor used when the Sourcing Policy is Multiple Sources
(Fastest Path) or Multiple Sources (Close to Due Date).

DOS Planning Lead Time


Type: Number
This is used for the DOS Demand-Based and DOS Forecast-Based inventory policies. It
allows you to offset the DOS window by a number of days either before the current day
(DOS demand based) or ahead of the current day (DOS Forecast based). Acceptable
input in this field is any integer great than 0 and is representative of the number of days
offset.

Delay Factor
Type: Number or Distribution
The field specifies the order delay factor used when the Sourcing Policy is Multiple
Sources (Fastest Path) or Multiple Sources (Close to Due Date).

Transportation Policies
Transportation Policies are considered unique based on the combination of Source Site,
Destination Site, Product Name and Mode.

Source Site
Type: Text
Choose the source site from which the product is to be transported.

Destination Site
Type: Text
Select the destination site that will receive the product.

Product Name
Type: Text
Choose the product to be transported. Transportation Policies can be product-specific,
apply only to a set of products (using a set in the Groups Data Table), or apply to all
products on that lane if the Product Name is left blank. Specifying a product will create a
product-specific transportation policy that only affects transporting this product from Site
A to Site B. No other product will use this policy.
If you are using the aggregate or disaggregate transportation policy, you will designate a
transportation asset type as "container" in the Transportation Assets Data Table. This
container will be visible in the drop down box of the Product Name Field.

Mode

Transportation Policies

The mode is a descriptive term used to describe the transportation mode, such as
Customer_Delivery or TruckingCompany1.

Mode Rule
Type: Special
Choose the Mode Rule to be used for transportation policies that have multiple modes
(these have the same Source-Destination combination). The options are explained in the
table below.

Note: Most of the options apply to Simulation only.

For Transportation Policies that have the same Source-Destination combination


and different Modes, use the same Mode Rule for all these records. If multiple
Mode Rules are applied to policies with the same Source-Destination pair,
Simulation will use the Mode with the name that is first alphabetically.

Mode Rule Example

First In Simulation, the mode with the lowest Mode number will be used.
In Optimization, this acts as an unconstrained option and any mode can be
selected.

First Simulation only: The mode for which an asset becomes available first will be used.
Available
Asset

By In Simulation, the mode is chosen based on probability. The Parameter value


Probability determines the probability.
In Optimization, the flows are split based on the percentages set in the policy
Parameter fields.

Split By In Simulation, individual orders are split based on the order size, using the ratios
Ratio as defined in the Parameter value.
In Optimization, the flows are split based on the percentages set in the policy
Parameter fields.

On Due Simulation only: The modes are sorted in descending order from longest to
Date shortest. The first mode that can fulfill the order on time (before or on the Due
Date) will be used.

On Qty Simulation only: The mode will be picked based on the size of the order (in units).
You must specify one mode with a Mode value of 0, and other modes where the
Mode is used as the unit break points. If there are 2 modes, one with Mode 0 and
one with Mode 200, orders that have a size between 0 and 200 units will take
Mode 0, and orders =>200 units will take Mode 200.

On Weight Simulation only: The mode will be picked based on the size of the order (in
weight). Similar to On Qty.

On Cubic Simulation only: The mode will be picked based on the size of the order (in cubic).
Similar to On Qty.

Queue Simulation only: Shipments will only be placed in a queue, but never dispatched.
Only Queue Only assumes a customer written script takes care of scheduling
shipments.

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 41


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Fastest Simulation only: The delivery time for each path is calculated and the policy with
Path the fastest path is selected.

Close To Simulation only: The delivery time for each path is calculated and the policy that
Due Date delivers the shipment as close to the due date as possible without going over is
selected. If no path can deliver by the due date, it selects the policy that gets it
there the fastest.

Parameter
Type: Special
The parameter is used differently depending on the Mode Rule specified.

Mode Rule Parameter use

First In Simulation, modes will be used in alphabetical order by Mode name.

By Probability For Simulation, enter the probability that the mode will be used. For
example, if you enter 30, chances are 30% that this mode will be used.
The probabilities for the lane need to add up to 100.
For Optimization, enter the percentage that should flow on this mode.

Split By Ratio For Simulation, the shipping items will be split by this percentage to use
the mode. For example, if you enter 30, 30% of the shipping items should
use the mode. The probabilities for the lane need to add up to 100.
For Optimization, enter the percentage that should flow on this mode.

On Qty Simulation only: The mode will be picked based on the size of the order (in
units). Each mode should have a range in which to send it (i.e. 0-200 =
Mode_1, 200-500 = Mode 2, 500 - And above = Mode 3). Take the first
number in the range for that mode, and place that in the mode Parameter.

On Weight Simulation only: Each mode should have a range in which to send it (i.e.
0-200 = Mode_1, 200-500 = Mode 2, 500 - And above = Mode 3). Take
the first number in the range for that mode, and place that in the mode
Parameter.

On Cubic Simulation only: Each mode should have a range in which to send it (i.e.
0-200 = Mode_1, 200-500 = Mode 2, 500 - And above = Mode 3). Take
the first number in the range for that mode, and place that in the mode
Parameter.

Queue Only Simulation only: Shipments will only be placed in a queue, but never
dispatched. Queue Only assumes a customer written script takes care of
scheduling shipments.

Transportation Policies

Transportation Policy
Type: Text

Transportation
Description
Policy

Parcel The Parcel policy ships product bundles immediately. Product


bundles are shipped to their destinations, regardless of their
quantity, as soon as the product is ready to be shipped.

LTL (Less than The Less than Truckload policy ships product bundles
Truckload) immediately. It does not consider if other bundles are going to
the same destination, and therefore does not aggregate
product bundles. Optionally, a Transportation Asset can be
assigned to the lane, therefore requiring that an asset be
available for the shipment to proceed.

Full TL (Full A Full Truckload policy aggregates product bundles together for
Truckload) shipment. When the product bundle’s total weight (or cubic
volume) first reaches the asset’s weigh fill level (or cubic fill
level), the aggregated set of product bundles are shipped as
soon as an asset becomes available.
The policy must have a Transportation Asset specified. Each
asset unit’s weight and cubic volume capacity is also defined in
the Transportation Assets table. If the aggregated bundles’
total weight or volume exceeds this amount, the bundle is then
split. The excess quantity is set aside while an asset conducts
one shipment at capacity.

Air When a Transportation Asset is specified, this policy behaves


like a Full TL policy. If no asset is specified, it behaves like a
Parcel policy.

Rail When a Transportation Asset is specified, this policy behaves


like a Full TL policy. If no asset is specified, it behaves like a
Parcel policy.

Ship When a Transportation Asset is specified, this policy behaves


like a Full TL policy. If no asset is specified, it behaves like a
Parcel policy. This policy can also be used in conjunction with
containerization in the software.

Daily Shipment Every 24 hours, the project bundles is shipped from source to
destination. The shipment is subject to asset availability in the
event that a Transportation Asset is specified.

Weekly Every 7 days, the project bundles are shipped from source to
Shipment destination. The shipment is subject to asset availability in the
event that a Transportation Asset is specified.

Periodic This policy allows shipments to be scheduled as per your


Shipment definition. The shipment is subject to asset availability in the
event that a Transportation Asset is specified. They can be
simple repeated schedules, such as every 50 hours, or more
intricate setups such as on specific days of the week.

Transportation
Description
Policy

Pooled Inbound Simulation: In a Pooled Inbound policy, a single asset acts to


deliver the various product bundles to a specific site. Supply
Chain Guru consolidates all bundles that are inbound into the
same site on a single asset.
By default, the asset travels to sites in increasing order of
distance from the destination site, starting with the closest
source site. You can also specify a route for the asset to follow.
The shipment is subject to asset availability in the event that a
Transportation Asset is specified.
Vehicle Route Optimization: When using Vehicle Route
Optimization, only Transportation Policies that are Pooled
Inbound or Pooled Outbound are considered. If the policy is
Pooled Inbound, the destination sites are considered to be
pooling sites. If the policy is Pooled Outbound, the origin sites
are considered to be pooling sites.

Pooled Periodic A Pooled Periodic Inbound policy is a combination of the Pooled


Inbound Inbound and Periodic policies. In a Pooled Periodic Inbound
policy, a single asset acts to deliver the various product
bundles to a specific site. The software consolidates all bundles
that are inbound into the same site on a single asset.
Additionally, the shipments follow the user defined schedule
much like the Periodic Shipments policy.
By default, the asset travels to sites in increasing order of
distance from the original outbound site, starting with the
closest source site. You can also specify a route for the asset to
follow. The shipment is subject to asset availability in the event
that a Transportation Asset is specified.

Pooled Simulation: In a Pooled Outbound policy, a single asset acts to


Outbound deliver the product bundles to various destinations. The
software consolidates all bundles that are outbound from a
single site on a single asset.
By default, the asset travels to sites in increasing order of
distance from the original outbound site, starting with the
closest destination site. You can also specify a route for the
asset to follow. The shipment is subject to asset availability in
the event that a Transportation Asset is specified.
Vehicle Route Optimization: When using Vehicle Route
Optimization, only Transportation Policies with a Transportation
Policy of Pooled Inbound or Pooled Outbound are considered. If
the policy is Pooled Inbound, the destination sites are
considered to be pooling sites. If the policy is Pooled
Outbound, the origin sites are considered to be pooling sites.

Transportation Policies

Transportation
Description
Policy

Pooled Periodic A Pooled Periodic Outbound policy is a combination of the


Outbound Pooled Outbound and Periodic policies. In a Pooled Periodic
Outbound policy, a single asset acts to deliver the product
bundles to various destinations. The software consolidates all
bundles that are outbound from a single site on a single asset.
Additionally, the shipments follow the user defined schedule
much like the Periodic Shipments policy.
By default, the asset travels to sites in increasing order of the
distance from the original outbound site, starting with the
closest destination site. You can also specify a route for the
asset to follow. The shipment is however subject to asset
availability in the event that a Transportation Asset is specified.

Interleaved Vehicle Route Optimization: The route can have interspersed


deliveries and pickups. The vehicle starts from its home base,
visits a sequence of pickups and deliveries, and then goes back
to the home base if a round trip is required.

Flow The Flow Transportation Policy allows you to customize the


complete chain of shipments that a bundle can go through.
Once a bundle uses a transportation lane with a specific Mode,
it thereafter tries to use lanes which have the same Mode. This
policy is used only in Optimization.
NOTE: If you are using the Flow Transportation Policy, you
cannot have multiple modes going into the source site.

Link to Lane This policy creates a virtual lane. It then relies on flow patterns
defined in the Ship to field to ship the product bundle from the
original source to the final destination.

Aggregate Product bundles can be assembled into containers for simpler


Container shipping. In this policy, product bundles are aggregated into a
container asset, which subsequently can be shipped to a
destination.

Disaggregate Container bundles are disassembled back into product bundles.


Container This must be done before a specific product bundle can be
retrieved from the container asset.

Join Convoy Vehicles are assembled into convoys. The convoy can depart
the origin site when the fill level (number of required vehicles)
is reached.

Depart Convoy Convoys are disassembled back into vehicles. This is done
once the convoy reaches the destination site.

Note: Choose a transportation policy. Vehicle Route Optimization considers only records
with a Transportation Policy of Pooled Outbound or Pooled Inbound.

run.
 Exclude - This transportation policy is to be excluded in a simulation or optimization
run.

Average Cost
Type: Number
The Average Cost field is related to the Cost Basis field. The value entered in the Average
Cost field is the transportation cost per Cost Basis unit. For example, if Cost Basis is Qty,
Average Cost should be the cost to ship 1 unit. If Cost Basis is Distance, the Average Cost
should be the cost of shipping 1 unit of distance. The Average Cost rate is only used by
optimization and has an Average Cost Field Guru associated with it. Simulation uses the
Cost rate to calculate transportation costs.

Note: You can use stepwise costs for Average Cost if the Cost Basis is Qty, Weight or
Cubic. You cannot use a value of INF for the Cost when defining a stepwise cost.

Average Cost is reflected in the Total Transportation Cost in the Network Summary output
table.

Cost
Type: Multiple
This is the cost of transportation in the simulation. The Cost rate field is used in
conjunction with the Cost Basis field. There are four ways in which to input costs for this
field:
 Enter in a single number. The single value will be interpreted differently based on the
Cost Basis.
 Enter in a step function. A step function can be entered with assistance from the Cost
field guru.
 Use a Dynamic Rate table (via the Input Pipes table).
 Write a custom script to calculate costs (using Scripts).
Cost is reflected in the Total Transportation Cost in the Network Summary output table.

Cost Basis
Type: Text
Choose the formula for calculating the total transportation cost for a shipment from
Source site to Destination site. The default Cost Basis is Qty. Actual shipment Cost is
calculated as follows:

 For each of the Cost Basis settings and with all demand served on the flow, the
shipment costs for Product A are as follows:

Cost Basis Unit Cost Shipment Cost

Weight 1*2=2 2 * 100 = 200

Qty 1=1 1 * 100 = 100

Cubic 1*5=5 5 * 100 = 500

Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Apply Cost To Horizon


Type: Yes/No
When set to Yes, the specified Average Cost will be calculated over the total length of the
optimization. When periods are specified in the Multi-Time Period Periods Table, and this
field is set to No, the Average Cost will be applied to each individual period.
This setting applies to the total costs only if the Average Cost specified is a stepwise
function. If the Average Cost is a numeric value, the total transportation costs will be the
same whether the model is a single-time or multi-time period model.

Fuel Surcharge
Type: Number
Use this field to represent a fuel surcharge that is incurred in addition to the normal
transportation cost in Network Optimization. The Fuel Surcharge is always calculated as a
Distance-based cost, regardless of the Cost Basis value on the Transportation Policy
record:
Flow Units * (Distance * Fuel Surcharge)/(Shipment Size/Product Weight)
For example, assume the following values:

Average Fuel Cost Shipment Shipment Size Product Flow


Distance
Cost Surcharge Basis Size Basis Weight Units

150 .05 Fixed 800 2 Weight 5 1000

In this case, the cost based on the Transportation Cost is calculated as:
Flow Units * (Average Cost/(Shipment Size/Product Weight)) or
1000 * 150/(2/5) = 375000
The Fuel Surcharge is calculated using a cost basis of Distance:
Flow Units * (Distance * Fuel Surcharge)/(Shipment Size/Product Weight) or
1000 * (800 * .05)/(2/5) = 100000
The Flow Transportation Cost is the cost based on Average Cost plus the cost based on
the Fuel Surcharge:
375000 + 100000 = 475000

Note: Vehicle Route Optimization costs, including surcharges, are defined on the Rate
table.

Shipment Size
Type: Number
In this field, enter the average size of your shipments. This field is only used for
optimization models when the Cost Basis is set to Distance or Fixed. It is used to
determine how many trips are needed to satisfy the flow of product for the respective
mode.
For example, if the average shipment weight for a mode is 50 and 100 units of weight
flow on the mode, there are 2 required trips. If the Cost Basis is Fixed and the Average
Cost is 200, then the transportation cost for this mode is 400. Similarly, if the Cost Basis
is Distance, the transportation cost for this mode would be the Average Cost (200 from

If you do not provide a value for this field and the Transportation Policy is product-
specific, the Product Name field is used to look up the Class on the Products table. If
neither Class nor Product Name is specified for the Transportation Policy, a message is
displayed: "Rate request data missing".

Distance
Type: Number
Enter the distance between the source and destination. The software will estimate the
distance for your sites (using latitude and longitude in the Sites table), if you click the in-
cell button.

Transport Time
Type: Number or Distribution
Enter the length of time that a shipment takes to travel from the Source site to
Destination site. This field can accept a properly formatted probability distribution or
simple time units. The default time unit is Day. If a probability distribution is used, the
distribution is sampled and a different transport time is determined for each shipment.
Transport Time is not a required field for any transportation policy. If no time is entered,
a default will be calculated from Source site to Destination site based on the latitude and
longitude of each site, taking the speed of the transportation asset into account (Distance
/ Speed). When no asset is used in the transportation policy, the Default Transport Speed
specified on the Model Options will be used.

Asset Name
Type: Text

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 49


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Choose the asset that will transport your product. This field is necessary when using the
Full TL and Pooled policies and optional for others. You can get more information on
Assets in the Transportation Asset Table.
For Vehicle Route Optimization, you assign assets using the Asset Availability.

Days Between Replenishments


Type: Number
Specifies the number of days between receipt of additional product at the destination
site. This field is primarily used for demand propagation, and in cycle stock optimization
and safety stock optimization. For safety stock calculation, when the Service Definition is
Type 2 or Type 3, this value is used to derive the Min Replenishment Qty.

Duty
Type: Number
In this field enter a duty rate to represent the taxes and tariffs that will be levied for each
shipment on this lane. The actual duty cost is calculated by multiplying the duty rate by
the shipment’s total value (Value from the Product table multiplied by shipment quantity.)

Discount Rate
Type: Number
Enter the discount factor negotiated with the transportation company. This rate is
multiplied by the cost to determine the actual cost. The default value is 1.0 (no discount).
For example, if the negotiated discount is 30%, the discount rate is 1.0 - .30 or .70, so
you enter a discount rate of 0.70. If the cost is $100, Supply Chain Guru will multiply
0.70 by 100 to get an actual rate of $70.
Discount Rate is reflected in the Total Transportation Cost in the Network Summary
output table.

Min Charge
Type: Number
In this field enter any minimum rate negotiated with the transportation company.
Minimum rates override costs if the cost is less than the minimum charge.
Min Charge is reflected in the Total Transportation Cost in the Network Summary output
table.

Review Period
Type: Text
Enter how often the queue at the transportation lane is checked. If left blank, the queue
is evaluated every time a shipping item enters. If a review period is specified items are
queued, and then evaluated together. By default, all of the provided mode rules make
decisions of the aggregate contents of the queue. So for example, if the Mode Rule was
"On Weight", and you had a review period of 1 Day; then every day the simulation would
sum the weight of all the items in queue, and apply the mode rule to it.

50 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Transportation Policies

The review period can be left blank, set to one value, or assigned a schedule as well. See
the table below for how to enter data:

Value Examples Parameter use

No Value As soon as an item enters the queue, it will be evaluated


by the Mode Rule.

Single 12 HR The queue is evaluated every interval value (for


Value 1 DAY example, every 12 hours).

Repeating 1 DAY, 3 DAY, 2 DAY The queue is reviewed after one day, then reviewed
Schedule again 3 days after the first review, and again 2 days
after the second review. The schedule is repeated upon
completion.

If the review period is left blank, as soon as an item enters the queue, it will be evaluated
by the Mode Rule.
If the review period has a value entered in it (i.e. 12 Hour or 1 Day etc), the mode logic
will repeat fire specified by the interval in the review period. (If the review period is 12
Hour, the queue at the transportation lane will be evaluated every 12 hours).
The review period also supports a repeating schedule. The format is the same as a single
value in the review period, except a comma is placed between the single values. An
example follows:
1 Day, 3 Day, 2 Day
In the above example, a Review of the queue will occur after one day. Then the next
review will occur 3 Days after the first review. Then the third review will occur 2 Days
after the second. When the schedule completes, it repeats itself.
Review periods themselves are dependent on the start time of simulation. For example,
assume the start time set in the Model Options is 12:00 AM 1/1/2010, and the review
period is set to 24 HR. The queue at the lane will be reviewed every day at 12:00 AM. An
offset can be entered in front of the review period to change the time the model will start
reviewing. The offset will only be incurred once.
For example, if we would like to Review the queue every day at 4 PM, and our simulation
starts at 12 AM, an offset of 16 hours can be entered to shift the review time to 4 PM.
Then, if we have 24 hour review period, it will check every 24 hours from the time to
which it was offset. The format for the offset is as follows: < "Time" >
For the a 16 hour offset, with a daily review you would enter: <16 HR>, 24 HR.
For Network Optimization, Review Period is used as part of a Days Between
Replenishments (DBR) replacement scheme when calculating cycle stock. If DBR is not
defined, Supply Chain Guru uses the maximum of Review Period or Shipment Period in
calculating cycle stock.

Note: For Transportation Policies with the same Origin – Destination combination, the
same Review Period should be used.

Shipment Period
Type: Text
Enter the schedule for a Periodic (i.e. scheduled shipment).

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 51


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

The Shipment period supports a repeating schedule. The format is the same as a single
value in the review period, except a comma is placed between the single values. An
example follows:
1 Day, 3 Day, 2 Day
In the above example, a Shipment will occur after one day. Then the next Shipment will
occur 3 Days after the first Shipment. Then the third Shipment will occur 2 Days after the
second. When the schedule completes, it repeats itself.
Shipment schedules themselves are dependent on the start time of simulation. So if the
start time set in the Model Options is 12:00 AM 1/1/2010, and the Shipment period is set
to 24 HR. The Shipments will depart every day at 12:00 AM. An offset can be entered in
front of the Shipment schedule to change the time the shipments depart. The offset will
only be incurred once.
For example, if we would like to ship every day at 4 PM, and our simulation starts at 12
AM; an offset of 16 hours can be entered to shift the review time to 4 PM. Then, if we
have 24 hour shipment schedule, it will check every 24 hours from the time to which it
was offset. The format for the offset is as follows: < "Time" >
For the a 16 hour offset, with a daily shipment you would enter: <16 HR>, 24 HR.
For Network Optimization, Shipment Period is used as part of a Days Between
Replenishments (DBR) replacement scheme when calculating cycle stock. If DBR is not
defined, Supply Chain Guru uses the maximum of Review Period or Shipment Period in
calculating cycle stock.

CO2
Type: Number
In this field, set the CO2 emissions for this transportation mode based on the CO2 Basis.
There is a field guru associated with the CO2 emissions field. You can enter a numeric
value, or select the Transportation Method using the field guru to retrieve the CO2
emission quantity for a specific vehicle type. By default, the CO2 Basis is weight-distance,
therefore the CO2 emission quantity is set at kg per weight unit, per unit of distance.
For example, if .04 is entered, then this is .04 kg of CO2 per one unit of weight of product
moved over one mile by this transportation mode.

CO2 Basis
Type: Special
Use this field to select the basis for determining CO2 emissions. Typically, this is weight-
distance, but you can select one of the other values as shown:

CO2 Basis CO2

Weight CO2 * Product Weight

Qty CO2

Cubic CO2 * Product Cubic

Distance (CO2 * Distance) / (Shipment Weight/Product Weight)

Fixed CO2 / (Shipment Weight/Product Weight)

Ship To
Type: Text
If the Ship To field is used in a transportation policy it means that the Source-Destination
lane becomes a virtual lane. The Source does not ship directly to the Destination, but it
ships to the site specified in the Ship To field (the end destination of the route is still the
site specified in the Destination Site field). Transportation policies for the Source - Ship To
and Ship To - Destination site combinations need to exist in the transportation policies
table.

Load Resource

If an asset requires a return trip, this is the time it takes for asset to travel from final
destination to initial start point.

Return Trip Cost


Type: Number
If an asset is used in the transportation policy, this field specifies the cost for the asset to
return to the Source Site. This cost is reported in the Variable Cost field of Transportation
Assets Summary Optimization Output.

Flow Reqt
Type: Number
Enter the amount of this product required for shipment over the transportation lane. Its
use is determined by three other flow requirement fields listed below; Flow Requirement
Type, Flow Requirement Basis and Flow Requirement Period.
Flow refers to the amount of product moved by this transportation policy in a given time
period. Flow Requirement fields are only used in an optimization; a simulation run will
ignore these four fields. An optimization will use flow requirements as constraints.

Flow Reqt Type


Type: Text
Choose the flow requirement type - conditional minimum, minimum, maximum, or fixed.
This defines how the Flow Requirement is used in an optimization. The conditional
minimum flow establishes that, in order to use this transportation lane for any shipments,
a minimum flow is necessary. Essentially this constraint is similar to saying the flow can
be 0 or higher than the minimum.

Flow Reqt Basis


Type: Text

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 55


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Choose the flow requirement basis - Quantity, Weight or Cubic. This defines the units of
measurement for the flow requirement.

Flow Reqt Period

interpreted as a percentage. It can be defined as a number or as a distribution.

Reorder When Destroyed


Type: Yes/No
This field gives you a choice to place an immediate "replacement" order to make up for a
destroyed shipment. When this field is "Yes", Supply Chain Guru places an order that has
the same characteristics (due date, qty, product type, etc.) of the destroyed shipment.
When this field is "No", nothing is done.

Unit Delay Factor


Type: Number or Distribution
Specify the unit delay factor for surviving members of an ambushed convoy. This factor is
multiplied by the number of destroyed vehicles in the event of an ambush. You can
provide a constant, such as 2 hours, or a distribution.

Delay Factor
Type: Number or Distribution
Specify the order delay factor for surviving members of an ambushed convoy.

Minimum Shipment Quantity


Type: Number
In Safety Stock Optimization, the Minimum Replenishment Quantity is the maximum of

to the Destination on the defined Mode within this time frame. If this is not possible, the
order is considered to have been missed and the Fill Rate may decrease. The Guaranteed
Service Time is in terms of days. It is calculated on a Source-Destination-Product-Mode
basis.

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 57


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Transportation Assets
Name
Type: Text
Enter a unique name for each asset in your model.

Units
Type: Number
Enter the number of units of this asset that are available for use in the network. Units
must be a whole number (i.e., you cannot have half a truck). When optimizing, the
number of units entered in this field will act as a max number of asset units. The software
will automatically determine the optimal number of transportation assets. The results will
be in the Asset Summary Optimization Output table.

Note: Be sure to specify the Asset being used in the Asset field of the Transportation
Policies data table.

When specifying the number of assets for use with Vehicle Route Optimization,
use the Available Quantity field on the Asset Availability table.

Type
Type: Special
Select either Vehicle or Container. An asset is considered a vehicle if it is able to move
from one node to another, such as a Truck, Boat, Plane or Train. An asset is a container if
it can be loaded with product, but cannot move between sites on its own, such as a pallet
or railcar.

Unit Fixed Cost


Type: Number
Enter the total cost of owning or using each unit of this asset. Unit Fixed Cost is the fixed
cost of using this asset. For example, this could be the cost of maintaining a vehicle in the
fleet, or yearly administrative costs for operating it.

Note: If you do not specify either a Unit Fixed Cost or Hourly Cost Cap on Transportation
Assets, the optimized number of units will always equal the number of Units set on
the Transportation Assets input table. The Transportation Asset Utilization in the
Transportation Asset Summary optimization output table will therefore be
reported as 1 (fully utilized).

Unit Fixed Cost is reflected in the Total Transportation Asset Cost in the Network
Summary output table.
Vehicle Route Optimization: Enter the fixed cost incurred for the asset for the model
horizon. For example, if your model horizon is a week and the annual fixed cost for an
asset is 80,000, the Unit Fixed Cost should be 1,538.

Hourly Cost Cap


Type: Pairs

58 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Transportation Assets

The hourly cost is the cost of using this asset. This can be used, for example, for driver
wages that are based on how many hours a vehicle is in use. Specify the <Cap,Cost>
structure per hour for this asset.

Note: If you do not specify either a Unit Fixed Cost or Hourly <Cap,Cost> on
Transportation Assets, the optimized number of units will always equal the number
of Units set on the Transportation Assets input table. The Transportation Asset
Utilization in the Transportation Asset Summary optimization output table will
therefore be reported as 1 (fully utilized).

Hourly Cost is reflected in the Total Transportation Asset Cost in the Network Summary
output table.

Capacity Period
Type: Text
Choose the period (Day, Week, Month (30 day), Quarter (91 day), or Year) over which the
Hourly <Cap,Cost> structure applies to for this asset. If no Capacity Period is specified,
the default is the model period length.

Expansion Only
Type: Yes/No
If set to Yes, then the available number of assets cannot be less than in any previous
period.

Apply Fixed Cost to Horizon


Type: Yes/No
During a multi-time period optimization, if Apply Fixed Cost to Horizon is set to Yes, then
the unit fixed cost will be used throughout the duration of the optimization time period.

Weight Fill Level


Type: Number
Simulation: Enter the weight at which your asset is considered full enough to be
dispatched. The Weight Fill Level acts as a trigger for certain Transportation Policies.
Network Optimization: The fill levels are used as the average asset load size (rather than
the capacities) in determining the number of trips the asset makes. If you have specified
more than one Fill Level for an asset (such as Weight Fill Level and Quantity Fill Level),
the more constraining level is used.
Vehicle Route Optimization: The fill level is the minimum shipment weight that must be
on the asset.

Weight Capacity
Type: Number
Enter the maximum weight your asset is capable of holding. Not used for Network
Optimization.

Note: Weight Capacity must be greater than or equal to the Weight Fill Level. These
fields work hand-in-hand when you create your Transportation Policies. If Weight

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 59


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Capacity and Weight Fill Level are the same number, your asset will only be
dispatched when it is 100% full. On the other hand, if your Weight Fill Level is 100
pounds and your Weight Capacity is 200 pounds, then your asset will be
dispatched when it is 50% full.

Simulation: Weight Capacity is only used in Simulation for tracking individual assets.
Vehicle Route Optimization: This is the maximum weight that can be loaded on the asset.

Cubic Fill Level


Type: Number
Simulation: Enter the cubic volume at which your asset is considered full enough to be
dispatched. The Cubic Fill Level acts as a trigger for certain Transportation policies.
Network Optimization: The fill levels are used as the average asset load size (rather than
the capacities) in determining the number of trips the asset makes. If you have specified
more than one Fill Level for an asset (such as Weight Fill Level and Quantity Fill Level),
the more constraining level is used.
Vehicle Route Optimization: The fill level is the minimum shipment cubic volume that
must be on the asset.

Cubic Capacity
Type: Number
Enter the maximum cubic volume your asset is capable of holding. Not used in Network
Optimization.

Note: Cubic Capacity must be greater than or equal to the Cubic Fill Level. These fields
work hand-in-hand when you create your Transportation policies. If Cubic Capacity
and Cubic Fill Level are the same number, your asset will only be dispatched when
it is 100% full. On the other hand, if your Cubic Fill Level is 100 ft cubed and your
Cubic Capacity is 200 ft cubed, then your asset will be dispatched when it is 50%
full.

Simulation: Cubic Capacity is only used in Simulation for tracking individual assets.
Vehicle Route Optimization: This is the maximum cubic volume that can be loaded on the
asset.

Quantity Fill Level


Type: Number
Simulation: Enter the number of products that this asset must transport in order to be
dispatched for shipment.
Network Optimization: The fill levels are used as the average asset load size (rather than
the capacities) in determining the number of trips the asset makes. If you have specified
more than one Fill Level for an asset (such as Weight Fill Level and Quantity Fill Level),
the more constraining level is used.
Vehicle Route Optimization: The fill level is the minimum shipment quantity volume that
must be on the asset.

60 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Transportation Assets

Quantity Capacity
Type: Number
Enter the maximum number of products that this asset can transport. Not used in
Network Optimization.

Note: Quantity Capacity must be greater than or equal to the Quantity Fill Level. These
fields work hand-in-hand when you create your Transportation policies. If Quantity
Capacity and Quantity Fill Level are the same number, your asset will only be
dispatched when it is 100% full. On the other hand, if your Quantity Fill Level is
100 ft cubed and your Quantity Capacity is 200 ft cubed, then your asset will be
dispatched when it is 50% full.

Simulation: Quantity Capacity is only used in Simulation for tracking individual assets.
Vehicle Route Optimization: This is the maximum quantity that can be loaded on the
asset.

Comp2 Quantity Capacity

Type: Number
Enter the speed at which your asset can travel in miles or kilometers per hour. If a speed
is not entered, the default speed set in the Model Options will be used for calculations.

Asset Weight
Type: Number
Enter the weight of the transportation asset. This is the weight of the actual asset. When
using containerization the weight of the shipment and the asset are taken into account.

Asset Cubic
Type: Number

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 61


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Enter the volume of the transportation asset. This is the volume of the actual asset,
which is distinctly different from the volume capacity of the asset.

Units is Integer
Type: Yes/No
Enter Yes if the asset can only be an integer.

Shipping Route
Type: Special
If there is a specific route this asset should take, select it in this field. The drop-down list
is automatically populated from the Shipping Routes table.

Unit Selection Rule


Type: Special
This drop down menu allows you to select a rule for determining which single asset in this
asset group to use – First Available, Minimize Assets, Local Only, Closest Available, or
create a Custom Rule in the Scripts Table.

Shift Pattern
Type: Special
This causes the site to ship and receive orders only during its specified work times, just
like work centers. Likewise, Transportation Assets are only available for transport when
they are working.

Asset Home Base


Type: Special
Select the home location for this asset. This is the site which "owns" the asset. The site
must be listed in the Sites Table.

On Idle Behavior
Type: Special
Select the policy to designate what the transportation asset should do once it has
completed the delivery of a shipment or completed its shipping route. From the drop
down menu, select one of the following policies:
 Go to Home – Return to the location listed in the Asset Home Base Field
 Return to Start – Return to the starting location for that shipment
 Stay Put – Remain at the site that it became idle
 Go to Location – Travel to the site listed in the On Idle Location Field
 Destroy Unit – Asset is no longer a part of the model. It is removed from further
tracking and data collection

On Idle Location
Type: Special

62 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Transportation Assets

Select the site for this asset to travel to once it has completed its shipment or shipping
route. This site must be listed in the Sites Table.

Waiting Consumer Queue Basis


Type: Special
Defines the basis from which asset loading queues are defined in the simulation output.
Unit type, quantity, cubic, weight, or value can be used for reporting.

On Available Event Handler


Type: Special
This is the logic to tell an asset what to do once it becomes available. You define the logic
in a custom script with a Type of “Asset OnAvailable Event”. Scripts of this type will be
available in the dropdown list for this field. On Available behavior is different from the On
Idle behavior because an asset only becomes Idle after a shipment. For example, if the
On Idle behavior is to GO HOME, at the end of a shipment the asset would do that. The
On Available event would fire upon arrival.

Vulnerability Factor
Type: Number
This allows you to weight the vulnerability of different assets. It only applies if an asset is
part of a convoy with multiple asset types when an ambush occurs. For example, there
are 5 assets in a convoy: 3 of type A and 2 of type B. Asset A has a Vulnerability Factor of
100 and Asset B has a Vulnerability Factor of 50. Asset A is therefore twice as likely to be
destroyed if an ambush occurs.

Max Stops Per Route


Type: Number
This field specifies the maximum number of customer locations on a route. Vehicle
domiciles and warehouses are not included in this number. See Modeling Transportation
Assets.

Max Distance Between Stops


Type: Number
This field specifies the maximum distance between any consecutive pair of pickup or
delivery stops on the route for this transportation asset. It is not applied to the distance
between the warehouse and other locations. For example, Max Distance Between Stops is
not applied in the following situations:
 From the equipment home location to the warehouse.
 From the warehouse to the first delivery.
 From the last pickup back to the warehouse in a backhaul. If there is no pickup on the
route, it is not applied to the last delivery back to the warehouse.
Any segment that has a warehouse as an end node ignores this constraint in Standard
VRP and Backhaul.

Min Distance Between Stops


Type: Number

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 63


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

This field specifies the minimum distance between any consecutive pair of non-warehouse
stops on the route for this transportation asset. If the actual distance is lower than this
value, the distance is set to this value. It is not applied to the distance in the following
situations:
 From the equipment home location to the warehouse (DC).
 From the warehouse (DC) to the first delivery.
 From the last pickup back to the warehouse (DC) in a backhaul. If there is no pickup
on the route, it is not applied to the last delivery back to the DC.
That is, any segment that has a DC as an end node ignores this constraint in Standard
VRP and Backhaul.

Max Total Distance Per Route


Type: Number
This field specifies the maximum total distance of a complete route. This is from the
equipment location to the warehouse, all in-transit legs, and the return to the equipment
home location if the route is round trip.

Max Time Per Route


Type: Text
This field specifies the maximum travel time for a complete route. This is from the
equipment home location to the warehouse, all in-transit legs, and the return to the
equipment home location if the route is round trip. The default unit for time fields is DAY.

Max Waiting Time At Location


Type: Text
This field specifies the maximum extra waiting time allowed at each delivery location, due
to combining multiple shipments which may have different delivery times. It is used to
check if shipments with same destinations could be combined in the same truckload. Not
applicable if there is only one shipment delivered at each location.
The duration from the Arrival Time to the first Delivery Time cannot exceed this value.
Also, the duration from the first delivery to the last delivery cannot exceed this value. The
default time unit is DAY.

Is Default
Type: Yes/No
Set this field to Yes if this is the default equipment type. When there is no equipment
found within the radius value of Max Equipment Distance for a warehouse site, the default
equipment type is used. There must be NO MORE THAN ONE record defined as the
default. There is NO LIMIT in the available quantity of default equipment. Default
equipment type starts routes from the first pickup location.
Default = No

Is Round Trip
Type: Yes/No
Set this field to Yes when the equipment must return to the equipment location at the end
of a trip.

Max Duty Time Per Shift


Type: Text
Specifies the maximum amount of time a driver can be on duty without a break per shift
(A shift is usually a day or a 24 hour period). Duty time includes drive time, non-drive
working time, and wait time. This is the maximum number of hours for regular duty time
and maximum number of hours of overtime per shift. The default unit for time fields is
DAY.

Note: If you specify Max Duty Time Per Shift, an overnight break of at least Min Break
Time Between Shifts will be taken at the end of the shift. If you do not enter a
value for Min Break Time Between Shifts, the “overnight” break will have no
duration.

Max Drive Time Per Shift


Type: Text
Specifies the maximum amount of time a driver can drive per shift without a long break.
A long break is one that is long enough to sleep. The default unit for time fields is DAY.
When specifying driver hours of service constraints, do not set any of the “Maximum”
field values, such as Max Drive Time Within Shift, to 0. This can cause unexpected routing
results, including violation of other driver hours of service constraints.

Min Break Time Between Shifts


Type: Text
Specifies the minimum amount of time a driver must be off duty before being on duty
again. This break must be long enough to sleep. The default unit for time fields is DAY.

Max Drive Time Within Shift


Type: Text
Specifies the maximum amount of time a driver can drive continuously without a short
break. Short breaks are calculated if this field and Min Break Time Within Shift are both
populated. The default unit for time fields is DAY.
When specifying driver hours of service constraints, do not set any of the “Maximum”
field values, such as Max Drive Time Within Shift, to 0. This can cause unexpected routing
results, including violation of other driver hours of service constraints.

Min Break Time Within Shift


Type: Text
Specifies the minimum amount of time a driver needs to break before he can continue to
drive within a shift. This break is incurred after the amount of drive time defined by Max
Drive Time Within Shift is incurred. Short breaks are calculated if this field and Max Drive Time
Within Shift are both populated. The default unit for time fields is DAY.

Fixed Service Time at Stop


Type: Text

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 65


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Specifies the fixed amount of service time when the equipment stops at a delivery
location; not applicable at a warehouse. The default unit for time fields is DAY. See
Modeling Transportation Assets.

Variable Service Time at Stop


Type: Text
Specifies the variable amount of service time when the equipment stops at a delivery
location; not applicable at a warehouse. The total service time at a delivery stop = Fixed
Service Time at Stop + Variable Service Time at Stop x total quantity/ weight/cubic
value, which is defined by the Key Unit of Measure in Vehicle Route Optimization Options
dialog (default is quantity). The default unit for time fields is DAY.

Max Distance from Warehouse


Type: Number
Specifies the maximum distance from the warehouse that the equipment can be in service.

Min Time Between Stops


Type: Text
Specifies the minimum travel time between two consecutive stops on a route, excluding
segments that have a warehouse as an end node. If the actual time is lower than this
value, the travel time is set to this value. The default unit for time fields is DAY.
It is not applied to the travel time in the following situations:
 From the equipment home location to the warehouse.
 From the warehouse to the first delivery.
 From the last pickup back to the warehouse in a backhaul. If there is no pickup on the
route, it is not applied to the last delivery back to the warehouse.

Min Time Between Routes


Type: Text
Use this field to define the minimum time that must occur between the routes assigned to
an asset. This is the time from the end of one route (the End Date Time of one route to
the Start Date Time of the next route on the asset). The default unit for time fields is DAY.

Max Time Per Asset


Type: Text
Use this field to define the maximum time for routes assigned to an asset when using
Asset Optimization. This time is from the Arrive Date Time at the first stop on the first
route to the Leave Date Time at the last stop on the last route assigned to the asset. If
Max Time Per Asset is null, the length of the vehicle route optimization horizon is used as
the maximum time per asset. The default unit for time fields is DAY.

Max Out Of Route Percent


Type: Number
This field defines a percentage to constrain how far apart stops within a route can be. The
out of route percent value is calculated as:
(Traveled Distance - Direct Distance)/Direct Distance

66 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Groups

where
 Traveled Distance is the sum of the distances between all stops on the route.
 Direct Distance is the distance from the pool site to the furthest customer, and
multiplied by 2 if it is a round trip.
For example, if you want to limit the out of route percentage to no more than 10%, enter
0.1. See Modeling Transportation Assets.

Empty Weight
Type: Number
This is the weight of an empty vehicle, also known as the “tare” weight. This weight
enables Supply Chain Guru to determine the CO2 emissions on segments of a route
where the vehicle empty.
Default value: 35000

CO2
Type: Number
In this field, set the CO2 emissions for this transportation asset based on the CO2 Basis.
This is the emission amount per weight unit assumed in your model.
There is a field guru associated with the CO2 emissions field. You can:
 Enter a numeric value, or
 Select the Transportation Method using the field guru to retrieve the CO2 emission
quantity for a specific vehicle type.
If you have selected a Transportation Method and the weight unit assumed in your model
is pounds, change the Weight Units to Pound. The CO2 value returned by the
Transportation Method is automatically recalculated.
For example, if .04 is entered, then this is .04 kg of CO2 per one unit of weight (Pound,
by default) of product moved over one mile by this transportation asset.

CO2 Basis
Type: Special
Use this field to select the basis for determining CO2 emissions. Vehicle Route
Optimization uses Weight-Distance. The total weight of the vehicle and shipments on
board per route segment are calculated for the Weight.

Groups
Name
Type: Text
Enter a unique Name to represent the group.

Chapter 1 Standard Tables

The “ProductSubstitution (Set Only)” value for Type in the Groups table allows you to
model product substitution.

Members
Type: Special
Click on the Field Guru button to open the Group Member Selection window up. In here
you can select from the Possible Group Members list (generated from the appropriate
data table) which products/sites/customers you want to add to the group.

Function
Type: Special
Treat as Individuals: Use this groups as a modeling short cut. Before the model is
optimized or simulated the "Treat as Individuals" groups will be expanded. For example,
assume you have 10,000 products in a model, but they all have the same sourcing
policies. Define a group with the 10,000 products in it and build the policies for the group.
The software will automatically expand the group at run time. If you have Product specific
costs, you can use Input Pipes to define them and still build the model at the group level.
Aggregate into Group: Every member of this group in the model will be "aggregated" or
rolled up into one name (the name of the group).
Set: Set is used to create a group to put a constraint on in the Aggregate constraint
tables.
It is also used in simulation to define a single lane for a "set" of products. For example,
you may have 100 "Frozen" products that need to go on a "Frozen" mode of
transportation. You can define the 100 products as a set and use that set name in the
Product name field of the Transportation Policies table. This will allow all 100 products to
be routed together.

Bill of Materials
Name
Type: Text
Enter the BOM name. We suggest adding the suffix BOM to the end product name, for
example, Lemonade_BOM.

Product Name
Type: Text
Enter the name of:
 the components needed to produce the end product.
 any byproduct that is produced.

68 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Bill of Materials

 the end product. You do not need to specify the end product if one unit is produced by
the BOM, and the BOM is specified on the Make sourcing policy for the product.

Quantity
Type: Text
Enter the quantity of this component needed to produce the end product.

Note: It is also possible to create byproducts. Byproducts are materials created in


addition to the main through the production process. Byproducts must also be
listed on the Product Data Table.

By-products are listed on the network flows output tables.


In the optimization module it is possible to have demand occurring for the byproduct.
Only the byproduct units that are left over after demand is fulfilled will be discarded in
this case.

Type
Use this field to determine how the product is used in the BOM. The value will be one of:
 Component
 Byproduct
 End Product
The default is Component.

Note: End Product as a Type in the Bill of Materials table are not used in Simulation.

Bill of Materials Example


The Type "End Product" allows you to specify the amount of this End Product that results
from this BOM, so that amounts other than 1 unit can be specified. You must specify the
Make sourcing policy for this product.
When the Sourcing Policy is Make (BOM - Probability) in the Sourcing Policies table,
Supply Chain Guru will use the Policy Parameter as the percentage that the specified BOM
is used. For example, if the Sourcing Policies table is as shown below, each of three BOMs
will be used with respective probabilities of 15, 25 and 60:

Product Policy
Site Name Sourcing Policy BOM Name
Name Parameter

MFG1 Product 1 Make (BOM - Probability) 15 BOM1_Prod1

MFG1 Product 1 Make (BOM - Probability) 25 BOM2_Prod1

MFG1 Product 1 Make (BOM - Probability) 60 BOM3_Prod1

Note: Policy Parameters for Make (Process - Probability) for the same Site - Product
combination and for Make (BOM - Probability) for the same Site - Product
combination should each add up to 100, as in the example above.

Processes
Process Name
Type: Text
Enter a descriptive name for the process you are specifying.

Process Step
Type: Text
Enter a descriptive name for this particular step of the process that you are specifying.

Next Process Step


Type: Text
Choose the next step of the process. When the process is complete, choose None or leave
the Next Process Step field blank.

Work Center
Type: Text
Choose the work center used for this step in the process.

Note: If you exclude a work center, either in the Work Centers table or through a
Scenario, processes using this work center are not excluded. The process is still
available, but it will not use the work center. In most cases, this has the effect of
making the model less costly and less constrained.

If you delete a work center, you are prompted if you want to delete rows from
dependent tables (in this case, the Processes table). However, rows are not
actually deleted from the Processes table when you confirm the deletion. Instead,
as when you exclude the work center, the work center is no longer used by
processes. The processes are still available, but they will not be using a work
center.

Routing Rule
Type: Special
Specify if there is one possible route (Single Route option) for this process or if there are
more routes possible.
Simulation: Options include Single Route, Multiple Routes (First Available), Multiple
Routes (Most Capacity) and Multiple Routes (Probability).
Optimization: The only available option is Single Route.

Routing Rule Description

Single Route Use this routing rule if there is only one possible route for
the process to use.

70 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Processes

Multiple Routes (First Simulation: When you use this rule, Supply Chain Guru
Available) selects the work center with the lowest step number. If this
work center is busy, it moves on to the next step. If the next
step is busy, it moves on to the next and so on until it
reaches the last step. If all of the steps/work centers are
occupied, then the step with the lowest step number would
be picked regardless of its queue length.

Multiple Routes Simulation: When you use this rule, Supply Chain Guru
(Most Capacity) selects the work center with the most available capacity.

Multiple Routes Simulation: Use this rule if you want to set a probability for
(Probability) each of the routes that can be used by the process. Specify
the probability value in the Routing Route Parameter field.

Using Multiple Routes


When using Multiple Routes (First Available) for a large number of shipments within a
short time frame, you may see idle work centers. This can occur if shipments are initially
assigned to one or more work centers. Once those work centers are busy with orders,
additional shipments will be queued up at the first work center (WC1). Even if another
work center (WC2) finishes, shipments are not sent to WC2 because they have already
been queued up at WC1. If another demand is scheduled after WC2 is finished producing
the first order, WC2 will then be selected.
Work center steps process orders sequentially and the order is not released until it is
complete. Each order queued up for a step must wait until the previous order is complete
or select an alternate route if available.

Routing Rule Parameter


Type: Number
This is only applicable if the Routing Rule is set to Multiple Routes (Probability). Enter the
percentage of probability that this process will use the specified Next Process Step (can
also be None). If the chance is 25% that the specified Next Process Step will be used,
enter "25".
If the Routing Rule Parameters add up to more than 100, Supply Chain Guru adjusts the
smallest percentage down to equal 100. For example, if two Processes records have
Routing Rule Parameter values of 70 and 50, the value of 70 will be used, then the 50 will
be adjusted to 30.
If the Routing Rule Parameters add up to less than 100, Supply Chain Guru adjusts them
based on their percentage of the total. For example, if two Processes records have
Routing Rule Parameter values of 60 and 15, the total is 75. The value of 60 is 80% of the
total, while 15 is 20%, so the values will be adjusted to their percentage of the total.

Status
Type: Text

 Include - This process is to be included in a simulation or optimization run.
 Exclude - This process is to be excluded in a simulation or optimization run.

Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Work Time per Unit


Type: Time
Enter the process time required for each unit. This time unit can accept both probability
distributions and straight time units (SEC, MIN, HR, DAY, WK). If the process specifies
production for example, the Work Time Per Unit is multiplied by the quantity of ordered
product, to arrive at a total production time for this step.
Important: If you do not specify a time unit, the default is DAY. Note that in the Work
Centers table, if the Capacity Basis is Time, the Work Center Summary output table
Throughput Level is displayed in HOURS.
Example: The Work Time Per Unit at the Lemonade Squeezing step is 6 SEC. The total
production time per unit for 1000 lemons is 6000 seconds or 100 minutes.

Cost Per Unit


Type: Number
Enter the cost for each unit for this process step. Each step in a process can have a
different cost. For example, as an production order goes through each routing step, costs
accumulate until the order is complete. The total cost of the order is then added to the
site production cost statistics.
The Cost Per Unit is reflected in the Total Production Cost in the Network Summary output
tables.

Average Changeover Time


Type: Time
Enter the average fixed amount of time required for each order that goes through this
step. The Average Changeover Time includes time for such tasks as setup and
changeover times. It is not exclusive of the Work Time per Unit; you can have both a
fixed Average Changeover Time and a Work Time per Unit. This field accepts both straight
time (SEC, MIN, HR, DAY, WK) and probability distributions.
Important: If you do not specify a time unit, the default is DAY.
The Work Time Per Order field acts as a setup time for individual orders. For example,
assume that you have a lot size of 2, demand of 5 and a Average Changeover Time Per
Order value of 1 HR. Optimization determines the number of orders as 2.5 (that is, the
total production amount is 2.5 * the lot size). It would therefore incur a total changeover
time of 2.5 HR. The total production cost is:
(Cost Per Unit * Units) + (Setup Cost * # of orders * Average Changeover Time)

Setup Cost
Type: Number
Specify the initial costs for implementing the process step. Setup Costs are applied for
each batch, i.e. the setup costs are calculated based upon the lot size and the number of
units processed. For example, if the order is for 500 and the lot size is 100, then 5 lots
will be produced.

Note: In Optimization, the Setup Cost is applied only if the Average Changeover Time
has a value > 0; that is, no cost is incurred if the changeover is instantaneous. In

72 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Processes

Simulation, the Setup Cost is incurred for each lot, regardless of the value of Work
Time Per Order.

The Setup Cost is reflected in the Total Production Cost in the Network Summary output
tables.

Work Time Per Order


Type: Time
Enter the fixed amount of time required for each order that goes through this step,
regardless of the production quantity. The Work Time per Order includes time for such
tasks as setup and changeover times. It is not exclusive of the Work Time per Unit; you
can have both a fixed Work Time per Order and a Work Time per Unit. This field accepts
both straight time (SEC, MIN, HR, DAY, WK) and probability distributions.
Important: If you do not specify a time unit, the default is DAY.
The Work Time Per Order field acts as a setup time for individual orders. For example,
assume that you have a lot size of 2, demand of 5 and a Work Time Per Order value of 1
HR. You will have 3 orders - 2 orders for 2 units and 1 order for 1 unit. Each of these
three orders incurs the 1 HR of Work Time Per Order added to the total production cost.
Keep in mind that the number of orders calculated is based on each demand order
specified. If you have 5 units of demand on March 14, this would be 3 orders and 7 units
on March 21 would be 4 orders based on the example lot size. The demand is not
summed up over the horizon to calculate the number of orders.
The total production cost is:
(Cost Per Unit * Units) + (Setup Cost * # of orders * Work Time Per Order)

Move Time
Type: Time
Enter the amount of time it takes to move the product from this process step to the next
in case a next process step is specified in the Next Process Step field.
Important: If you do not specify a time unit, the default is DAY.

Lot Size
Type: Number
Enter the lot size for this process step. The lot size is used to break up a production
quantity into smaller amounts. For example, if a production quantity of 1000 starts a
process step with a lot size of 100, the production item will cause 10 items of 100 each to
be produced.
To enforce an integer number of production lots:
 The Process must have a Work Center defined, and
 You must select the “Enforce integer number of production lots” optimization option
(on the Modeling Options tab).
For example, you would need both these conditions to be met if your Lot Size is 100,
Demand is 750, and you expect the production to be 800 (a multiple of 100).

Yield
Type: Number

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 73


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Enter the loss factor due to this process step. For example, if 10% of the material that
was input to a cutting production step (making skewed edges straight) is lost due to the
cutting, the yield factor is equal to 0.9: 90% of the material that was inputted is
outputted after this production step. Demand (from a customer/facility or input of the
next work center) determines the net production, that is the amount that needs to be
output of a certain work center. The input needed at a work center (gross production) is
calculated from the demand and the yield value.

Resource
Type: Text
Choose the work resource that will be assigned to this process step.

Minimum Lot Size


Type: Number
Use this field to enforce a minimum batch size in the process. The Minimum Lot Size
enables you to specify the minimum number of units that must be produced at a time. It
prevents a process step from producing if this threshold is not met. In contrast, the Lot
Size field serves as a capacity (breaking quantities into pieces if necessary).

Resource Usage Hours


Type: Number
Specify the number of hours the resource is used for this process step.

Graphic, Graphic Color, Graphic Size


In these fields, choose how you want your processes to appear. Graphic Size is measured
in points.

Note: It will be helpful to be consistent when choosing how your processes appear. For
example, you could choose to represent all manufacturing processes with a red
triangle 10 points in size and all packaging processes with blue squares 8 points in
size.

Work Centers
Name
Type: Text
Enter a unique name for your work center.

Site
Type: Text
Enter the facility where this work center is located.

Status
Type: Special

74 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Work Centers

The status field defines whether this work center will be included, considered, or excluded
during optimization runs.

Type
Type: Special
This field enables you to specify whether this is an existing work center or a potential
work center. Along with the status, this field will determine which of the fixed startup
cost, fixed operating cost, and closing cost fields will be incurred during the network
optimization run.

Capacity Basis
Type: Text
Choose the unit measure you will use to determine the dimension of shipment capacity in
the Fixed Startup <Cap,Cost> and Fixed Operating <Cap,Cost> fields. Valid choices are:
 Quantity
 Weight
 Cubic
 Time

Note: If the Capacity Basis is Time, the unit of measure in the Fixed Startup and Fixed
Operating graphs for capacity is HOURS. Be careful of the capacity basis that you
set. Typically, you would use "Day" if you are using "Time" as the basis.
Remember that the basis is used to figure out the total aggregate capacity. If the
start and end is set to be 1 year apart (in Model Options), you are running for 365
days. If you then set the basis to "Time" and period to "Day", the cap/cost is in
daily running hours for the work center.

In this case, if you set "8" as the capacity, the total hours available for the work
center for the year at that level is 365 * 8.

This capacity is consumed by work times specified in the Processes Table, enabling you to
model rough cut capacity.
The time per unit is multiplied by the total flow to get the total capacity required for flow.
For example, if the solution has 500 units of P1 getting produced on WC1, and the cycle
time is 5 minutes per unit, the total capacity required = 5 * 500 / 60 hours of capacity.

Capacity Period
Type: Text
Choose the period (Day, Week, Month (30 day), Quarter (91 day), or Year) over which the
cost numbers in the Fixed Operating <Cap,Cost> field is applied. If no Capacity Period is
specified, the default is the model period length.
The Fixed Startup <Cap,Cost> is applied over the model horizon.
If no Capacity Period is specified, the default is the model period length.

Fixed Startup <Cap,Cost>


Type: Number or Function

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 75


Chapter 1 Standard Tables

Enter a function that defines the relationship between startup capacities and startup cost.
The function is specified by a series of coordinates. The first number in the coordinate
indicates shipment capacity. The second number indicates the startup cost.
For example, an entry of <0, 1000000> <500000, 2000000> <750000, 2500000>
indicates that before any products can be shipped, an initial expenditure of $1,000,000
must be invested. In order to get capacity to more than 500,000, an initial expenditure of
$2,000,000 is needed. For capacity to be greater than 750,000, an initial expenditure of
$2,500,000 is required.
Fixed Startup Costs are always applied to the optimization horizon.
The Fixed Startup Cost is reflected in the Total Fixed Startup Cost in the Network
Summary output tables.

Fixed Operating <Cap,Cost>


Type: Number or Function
Enter a function that defines the relationship between operating capacity and operating
costs. The function is specified by a series of coordinates. The first number in the
coordinate indicates production capacity. The second number indicates operating cost.
For example, an entry of <0,1000000><500000, 2000000> <15000000,INF> indicates
that there is an initial operation cost of $1,000,000 before any product is produced. In
order to get capacity to more than 500,000, the operating cost increases to $2,000,000.
The maximum capacity is 15,000,000 as indicated with a cost of infinite (INF). If the cost
is INF for a certain capacity level, that capacity is considered as a hard constraint.
If you create capacity values that do not start with 0, the result is a conditional minimum
constraint for throughput at the work center. For example, if you enter
<100,175000><250000,INF> for the Fixed Operating value on a work center, if the work
center is used, it must have throughput of at least 100 units.
The Fixed Operating Cost is reflected in the Total Fixed Operating Cost in the Network
Summary output tables.

Closing Cost
Type: Number
Enter the monetary cost of shutting down the operations of this work center. In an
optimization, closing cost will be included if a work center with the type Existing Work
Center is closed.
The Closing Cost is reflected in the Total Closing Cost in the Network Summary output
table.

Apply Fixed <Cap,Cost> To Horizon


Type: Yes/No
Select Yes or No from the drop down menu. When it is set to Yes, the specified Cost and
Capacity structure for the Fixed Operating Costs is applied over the total length of the
optimization. When periods are specified in the Multi-Time Periods Table, and this field is
set to No, the Cost and Capacity structure will be applied to each individual period.

Expansion Only
Type: Yes/No

76 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2

Select Yes if this optimization is for expansion only.

Capital Investment Basis


Type: Special
Select the basis to be used for the Capital Investment <Cap,Cost> value(s). Select one
of:
 Quantity
 Weight
 Cubic
 Time

Capital Investment <Cap,Cost>


Type: Pairs
Enter one or more sets of capacity and capital investment pairs in the format:
<capacity1,cost1><capacity2,cost2><capacity3,cost3>
For example, if the capital investment for throughput up to 1000 is 500, and 250 for
throughput up to 5000, you would enter:
<1000,500><5000,250>
You can also use the field guru to input multiple values.

Note: INF is not allowed as a value for Cost. Use the Fixed Operating <Cap,Cost> field if
you want to constrain the capacity.

The Capital Investment Cost is reflected in the Total Capital Investment in the Network
Summary output table.

Book Value
Type: Special
Enter the value of the facility or work center at the start of each year for which you want
to track book value. If you want to enter values for a number of years, you can enter
them in the format:
<BookValue1|BookValue2|BookValue3>
For example, if the value is $1,000,000 in year 1, $800,000 in year 2, and $600,000 in
year 3, you would enter:
<1000000|800000|600000>
or
<1M|800K|600K>
where M represents Million and K represents Thousand.

Depreciation Schedule
Type: Special
Select the depreciation schedule you want to use:
 5 Year Straight-line
 10 Year Straight-line

Queue Capacity
Type: Number
Enter the maximum number of production orders allowable in the queue leading up to the
work center. If the value is set to INF, there are no limits on how many production items
could be queued up waiting for production. If the Queue Capacity is reached, production
items that are routed to this work center will be blocked, and will not move until queue
capacity is available.

Queue Selection Rule


Type: Special
Choose the way new orders will be lined up in the queue for this work center. For the FIFO
(first in first out) option, orders are queued in the order in which they arrive. In case
there are multiple routes specified for this work center in the Processes Table, the First
Available Resources rule checks which route will have the resources needed available the
soonest and queues the order accordingly (resources used by work centers are specified
on the Processes Table). The Queue Only rule only puts the orders into a queue, but does
not trigger the production of any, it is assumed that this is taken care of through a script
(Scripts Table) when Queue Only is selected.

Planning Capacity
Type: Number
Enter the planning capacity value for this work center. This value is not used by the
simulation logic; rather, it is a model variable which is visible to be used in the model’s
scripts.

Changeover Table
Type: Special
This field is used to associate a work center changeover table with this work center.

Pattern
Type: Text
Allows patterns of production to be distributed over periods of time. The pattern
represents a predefined set of occurrences, instead of a single occurrence.

Note: If you are defining production by using the Occurrences and InterArrivalTime, you
do not need to enter data in the Pattern field.

Pattern is directly related to Quantity. The pattern you select will take the total aggregate
quantity stated in the Quantity field and spread it out, as evenly as possible, over the
desired time frame. For example, If Quantity is less than the number of occurrences in
the Pattern, the software adds additional time between the recurring production and the
production. If Quantity is greater than the number of occurrences in the Pattern, the
software evenly distributes the quantity over the entire time amount.

Note: If you specify a pattern, Quantity field must be a number. Distribution functions
are not allowed in conjunction with patterns.

Pattern examples are in the following table.

If the Quantity Is: And Pattern Is: Then:

30 Month to Day 1 unit is produced every day for 30

Periodic VRP Schedule

In the first row, a “Prevent” relationship has been set up for the Transportation Asset
called “StandardTruck” and the group of sites “NJ_MD_DE_Sites”. This relationship
constraint ensures that the StandardTruck asset will not stop at any of the sites in the
group. This could be due to limitations in the size of vehicle that can be accommodated in
the dense cities of the northeastern United States.
In the second row, a “Force” relationship has been set up for the Transportation Asset
called “RefrigeratedTruck” and the Product called “PerishableFood”. This relationship
constraint ensures that the shipments containing the PerishableFood product must be
shipped on a refrigerated truck.

 Products Multi-Period
 Sites Multi-Period
 Sourcing Policies Multi-Period
 Inventory Policies Multi-Period
 Transportation Policies Multi-Period
 Transportation Assets Multi-Period
 Processes Multi-Period

Multi-Time Period Costs and Constraints


When building costs and constraints into multi-time period models, you can specify
values in both the Standard Tables and in the Multi-Time Period tables. The values can
vary between the tables and across the periods, and optimization uses period-specific
values. When setting costs and constraints in multi-period models, the following rules
apply:

Costs
If you set a cost in a Standard Table, that cost value is used for each period, unless the
cost is also set in the corresponding Multi-Time Period table. When that happens:
 In the period(s) for which the cost is also set in the Multi-Time Period table, that cost
is used and not the one set in the Standard Table.
 In period 1, if a cost is set on the Multi-Time Period table, that cost is used and not
the one set in the Standard Table.
 In all other periods that do not have a cost set on the Multi-Time Period table, the cost
from period 1 is used. This is either the cost set in the Multi-Time Period table for
period 1 or, if that cost is not set, the cost from the Standard Table.

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 117


Chapter 2 Multi-Time Period Tables

Constraints
Constraints include fields such as Inbound Capacity and Outbound Capacity on the
Inventory Policies table.
 If constraints are set only on the Standard Table, they are applied only to period 1.
 To apply a constraint to periods other than period 1, you must set it explicitly on the
Multi-Time Period table for each period for which it should apply.
The exception to this is the Fixed Operating cost for Sites/Work Centers. The Capacity
Period, Capacity Basis, and Apply to Horizon fields define how these work across
periods. Note that Fixed Operating cost can still be overwritten for specific periods in
the Multi-Time Period tables.

Fixed Operating <Cap,Cost>


Type: Function/Pair

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 119


Chapter 2 Multi-Time Period Tables

Enter a function that defines the relationship between operating capacity and operating
costs for this specific site during this time period. The function is specified by a series of
coordinates. The first number in the coordinate indicates throughput capacity. The second
number indicates operating cost.
For example, an entry of <0, 1000000> <500000, 2000000> <15000000, INF>
indicates an initial operation cost of $1,000,000 before any product is shipped. To boost
capacity to more than 500,000, the operating cost increases to $2,000,000. The
maximum capacity is 15,000,000 as indicated with a cost of infinite (INF). If the cost is
INF for a certain capacity level, that capacity is considered as a hard constraint.

Closing Cost
Type: Number
Enter the monetary cost of shutting down operations at this site during the specific time
period. In an optimization, closing costs are applied if a site of type Existing Facility is
closed during this period.

Sourcing Policies Multi-Period


Period Name
Type: Special
Select the Time Period in which the Sourcing Policy data changes.

Site
Type: Text
Select the site for which the Sourcing Policy changes.

Product Name
Type: Text
Enter the product for which the Sourcing Policy changes.

Source Name
Type: Text
Choose a site that can fill this replenishment order, or choose a work center that has a
routing record for this product for this time period.

Note: If using the Make souring policy, this field can be left blank, or it can be set to a
work center with a routing record for this product.

Avg Unit Cost


Type: Number
Specifies the average cost per unit for sourcing to be used in the network optimization for
this time period.
As an alternative to a simple constant cost, you can set up a cost schedule. This method
uses quantity break points and different costs with the Guru bracketed format, such as

120 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Inventory Policies Multi-Period

<0,1.50> <5000, 1.25> <10000, 1.00>. Using this example, the sourcing cost per unit
is:
 1.50 for units 0 through to 5,000
 1.25 for units 5,000 through to 10,000
 1.00 for units 10,000 and up.
For an order consisting of 20,000 units, the total cost is:
(5,000-0)*1.50 + (10,000-5,000)*1.25 + (20,000-10,000)*1.00 = 23,750.

Note: Simulation and optimization calculate costs differently. Simulation costs are
calculated on a per-order basis for each individual order, using the Sourcing Cost
value. Optimization costs are calculated using the aggregate flow quantity for the
entire time horizon, using the Avg Unit Cost value. Thus, when using quantity-cost
break points, you use different break points for simulation and optimization.

When setting costs in Multi-Time Period models, for optimization:


 If Avg Unit Cost is not specified in the Multi-Time Period record, the Avg Unit Cost
from the Standard Sourcing Policies table is used.
 If Avg Unit Cost is set for period 1 in the multi-period table, that Avg Unit Cost is used
and not the Avg Unit cost set in the Standard Table.
 For all other periods that do not have an Avg Unit Cost set on the multi-period table,
the Avg Unit Cost from period 1 is used. This is either the Avg Unit Cost set in the
multi-period table for period 1 or, if that Avg Unit Cost is not set, the Avg Unit Cost
from the standard table.

Days Between Productions


Type: Number
The number of days between production occurring at manufacturing sites that have Make
policies. This field is used to calculate the amount of cycle stock that should be held at the
manufacturing sites. This value is equivalent to the number of units produced divided by
the number of production turns that occur during the time period.

Minimum Order Quantity


Type: Number
Denote the minimum order quantity for this source to be used. This value is used when
calculating the inventory for the product at the site.

Inventory Policies Multi-Period

Type: Number
Enter the maximum quantity of product this site is capable of shipping during this period.
You can also leave it blank or enter INF (infinity) to define a capacity with no maximum.

Inv Carrying Cost %


Type: Number
Specifies the cost percentage for holding inventory of specified product at this site during
this period in the optimization run. This percentage and the Product Value are used to
calculate inventory holding costs. For example, if the inventory carrying cost percentage
is 10%, enter "10" in this field. If this value is not specified, the Inv Carrying Cost % in
the Inventory Policies is used if populated; otherwise, the Inv Carrying Cost % in Model
Options is used.

Inv Turns
Type: Number or Pairs
Specifies a piecewise linear function from which the average inventory can be calculated
during optimization.

122 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Inventory Policies Multi-Period

We define the following relationship between Average Inventory and Throughput:


Average Inventory = m x Throughput
Where m is the inverse of the inventory turns value.

Max Inv Qty


Type: Number
Specifies the maximum number of units of specified product that this site can stock
during this period.

Min Inv Qty


Type: Number
Specifies the minimum number of units of specified product that this site is allowed to
stock during this period.

Scheduled Receipt
Type: Number
Enter the number of units that this site is to receive during this period outside of the
other logic set up in the model.

Safety Stock
Type: Number
Specifies the quantity or Days of Supply (depending on the Safety Stock Basis) to be held
in inventory in the Network optimization. This value can be changed by period in the
Multi-Period Inventory Policies table. This field is an input for Network Optimization. To
calculate this value, use Safety Stock Optimization.

Disposal Cost
Type: Number
Enter the disposal cost that is incurred when the shelf life expires for this by-product at
this site in this period. In multi-period models, if a Disposal Cost value is not defined for
the first period in the Inventory Policies Multi-Time Period table, Supply Chain Guru uses
the Disposal Cost in the Inventory Policies table.
Supply Chain Guru supports disposal cost both for products that expire based on their
shelf life and those by-products that are trash (not expired)
 Expired Products – If the by-product reaches its shelf life before the model ends, it is
an expired product. You can define a disposal cost that is incurred when the shelf life
of a by-product expires within the model horizon. Supply Chain Guru will determine
whether it is cheaper to incur the disposal cost and get rid of the product, or hold it in
inventory based on inventory and production costs.
The Disposal Cost field in the Inventory Policies and Inventory Policies Multi-Period
tables enable you to set a disposal cost per product per site for each time period. You
must define Inventory Policies for products that can expire, even if you are not
applying a Disposal Cost.
For expired products, the cost is reported in the Flow Transportation Cost field on the
Customer Flows Optimization Output table, for a flow with a Customer named "Trash".
The Mode is “EXPIRED PRODUCT”.

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 123


Chapter 2 Multi-Time Period Tables

Note: The Disposal Cost fields for product expiration are available as target fields when
creating Input Pipes.

 Trashed Products – A by-product is considered trash if it has not reached its expiration
date (end of shelf life) by the end of the model and if there are no Inventory Policies
defined for the product. If there are Inventory Policies defined, it is assumed that the
by-product should be held in inventory, rather than trashed. In this case, an inventory
holding cost may be incurred.
If a by-product is to be trashed (that is, no Inventory Policies have been defined), you
can define a disposal cost to be incurred for an unexpired by-product, in other words
the cost to dispose of by-products created as part of your Bills of Material. This is
referred to as a “trashing cost” and applies to unused, unexpired by-product. You
specify this using the “Disposal cost per unit of by-product” on the Modeling Options
tab of Optimization Options.
The disposal cost for trashed products is reported in the Flow Transportation Cost field on
the Customer Flows Optimization Output table, for a flow with a Customer named
"Trash". The Mode is “UNUSED PRODUCT”.

Product Value
Type: Number
Data: Enter a monetary value for each unit. The Product Value field is used to calculate
the inventory investment and inventory holding costs. This enables you to vary the
product value at a specific site by time period. It is incorporated in the following formula:
Inventory holding cost = Inventory Quantity * Product value * Holding Cost Percentage *
Length of Time in Inventory
In Network Optimization, the Product Value in the Inventory Policies table overrides the
Product Value in the Products table. In Simulation, the Product Value in the Products table
is always used.

Inv Cost Other


Type: Number
Specifies any additional inventory costs not covered by other categories. Enter the cost
per unit of inventory per period.

Min and Max Safety Stock Qty


Type: Number
Specifies hard constraints on the safety stock for the product-location combination.

Min and Max Service Time


Type: Number
Specifies hard constraints for the service time quoted by the Site to its downstream sites.
This service time is expressed in units of DAY. For these fields, enter the number of days
(do not specify a time unit).

Reorder Point
Type: Number

124 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Transportation Policies Multi-Period

Specifies the inventory level at which a request for restocking (additional inventory
provided from a Sourcing Policy) is submitted.

Reorder Qty
Type: Number
Specifies the amount of product requested at the reorder point to refill inventory.

Service Requirement
Type: Number
Specifies the required service level of the product for customer-facing sites. The number
must be input as a fraction - that is, 95% would be input as .95, not 95 in the table. A
Service Requirement value of .50 ensures that no safety stock is held (that is, if the
service definition is Type 1). If no service requirements are specified at any site, the
service requirement will default to 95%. If Service Requirements are not specified
upstream from a site where a Service Requirement is specified, this requirement is
considered for the service level at the upstream sites.

Transportation Policies Multi-Period


Note: If you are using Transportation Policies Multi-Period records with Safety Stock
Optimization, you must have corresponding records in the regular Transportation
Policies table.

Period Name
Type: Special
Select the Time Period in which the Transportation Policy data changes.

Source Site
Type: Text
Choose the source site from which the product is to be transported for this time period.

Destination Site
Type: Text
Select the destination site that receives the product for this time period.

Product Name
Type: Text
Choose the product to be transported for this time period. Transportation Policies can be
product-specific or product-neutral. Specifying a product creates a product-specific
Transportation Policy that only affects transporting this product from Site A to Site B. No
other product uses this policy. Leave the product field empty to define a Transportation
Policy that applies to all the products from one site to another. If a product-specific policy
does not exist for a given product between Site A and Site B, the product-neutral policy is
used.

Avg Cost
Type: Number
Enter the change in the Average Cost during this time period. The Avg Cost field is related
to the Cost Basis field, which is specified on the Standard Transportation Policies table.
The value entered in the Avg Cost field is the transportation cost per Cost Basis unit. For
example, if Cost Basis is Qty, Avg Cost should be the cost to ship 1 unit. If Cost Basis is
Distance, the Avg Cost should be the cost of shipping 1 unit of distance. Avg Cost has an
Average Cost Field Guru associated with it.

Flow Reqt
Type: Number
Enter the amount of this product required for shipment over the transportation lane for
this time period. Flow refers to the amount of product moved by this Transportation Policy
in a given time period. Optimization uses flow requirements as constraints.

Flow Reqt Type


Type: Text
Choose the flow requirement type for this period: conditional minimum, minimum,
maximum, or fixed. This selection defines how the Flow Requirement is used in
optimization. If conditional minimum is specified as the type, a minimum flow is
necessary to use this transportation lane for any shipments. In other words, the flow can
be 0 or higher than the minimum.

Load Cost
Type: Number
Cost per unit to load product during this period.

Unload Cost
Type: Number
Cost per unit to unload product during this period.

Return Trip Cost


Type: Number
Enter the cost of making the return trip back to the source.

Duty Rate
Type: Number
Enter a duty rate to represent the taxes and tariffs that are levied for each shipment on
this lane for this time period. The actual duty cost is calculated by multiplying the duty
rate by the shipment’s total value (product value multiplied by shipment quantity.)

Next Process Step


Type: Text
Choose the next step of the process. When the process is complete, choose None or leave
the Next Process Step field blank.

Work Time Per Unit


Type: Time
Enter the fixed amount of time required for each unit that goes through this step,
regardless of the production quantity. It is not exclusive of the Work Time Per Order as
defined in the Processes table. You can define both a fixed Work Time Per Order and a
Work Time Per Unit. This field accepts either straight time (SEC, MIN, HR, DAY, WK) or
probability distributions.
Important: If you do not specify a time unit, the default is DAY.

Average Changeover Time


Type: Time
Enter the average fixed amount of time required for each order that goes through this
step at this work center during this period. This value includes time for such tasks as
setup and changeover. It is not exclusive of the Work Time per Unit. You can have both a
fixed Average Changeover Time and a Work Time per Unit. This field accepts both straight
time (SEC, MIN, HR, DAY, WK) and probability distributions.
Important: If you do not specify a time unit, the default is DAY.

128 LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2


Work Centers Multi-Period

The Work Time Per Order field in the Processes table acts as a setup time for individual
orders. For example, assume that you have a lot size of 2, demand of 5 and a Average
Changeover Time Per Order value of 1 HR. Optimization determines the number of orders
as 2.5 (that is, the total production amount is 2.5 * the lot size). It would therefore incur
a total changeover time of 2.5 HR. The total production cost is:
(Cost Per Unit * Units) + (Setup Cost * # of orders * Average Changeover Time).

Resource Usage Hours


Type: Number
Specify the number of hours the resource is used for this process step in this period.

Lot Size
Type: Number
Enter the lot size for this process step in this period. The lot size is used to break up a
production quantity into smaller amounts. For example, if a production quantity of 1000
starts a process step with a lot size of 100, the production item will cause 10 items of 100
each to be produced.

Unit Cost
Type: Number
Enter the cost of production for each unit at this work center during this period. Each step
in a production process can have a different cost. As the production order goes through
each routing step, costs accumulate until the order is complete. The total cost of the
order is then added to the site production cost statistics.

Setup Cost
Type: Number
Specify the initial costs for implementing the Work Center to process a specified product
during this period. Setup Costs are applied for each batch, i.e. the setup costs are
calculated based upon the lot size and the number of units processed.

Yield
Type: Number
Enter the loss factor due to this work center during this period. For example, if 10% of
the material that was input to a cutting production step (making skewed edges straight)
is lost due to the cutting, the yield factor is equal to 0.9: 90% of the material that was
inputted is outputted after this production step.
Demand (from a customer/facility or input of the next work center) determines the net
production, that is the amount that needs to be output of a certain work center. The input
needed at a work center (gross production) is calculated from the demand and the yield
value.

Fixed Startup <Cap,Cost>


Type: Function/Pairs
Defines the relationship between startup capacities and startup cost. The function is
specified by a series of coordinates. The first number in the coordinate indicates shipment
capacity. The second number indicates the startup cost.
For example, suppose you have an entry like the following:
<0, 1000000> <500000, 2000000> <750000, 2500000>
This entry indicates that before any products can be shipped, an initial expenditure of
$1,000,000 must be invested. To increase capacity to more than 500,000, an initial
expenditure of $2,000,000 is required. For capacity to be greater than 750,000, an initial
expenditure of $2,500,000 is required.
Fixed Startup Costs are always applied to the optimization horizon.

Fixed Operating <Cap,Cost>


Type: Function/Pairs
Defines the relationship between operating capacity and operating costs for this time
period. The function is specified by a series of coordinates. The first number in the
coordinate indicates production capacity. The second number indicates operating cost.
For example, suppose you have an entry like the following:
<0, 1000000><500000, 2000000> <15000000, INF>
This entry indicates that an initial operation cost of $1,000,000 is required before any
product is produced. To increase capacity to more than 500,000, the operating cost must
increase to $2,000,000. The maximum capacity is 15,000,000 as indicated with a cost of
infinite (INF). If the cost is INF for a certain capacity level, that capacity is considered as
a hard constraint.

Closing Cost
Type: Number
Enter the monetary cost of shutting down the operations of this work center in this
period. Closing costs are applied if a work center with the type Existing Work Center is
closed during this period.

Flow Count Constraints

 Max – At most X units may be produced


 Fixed – X units must be produced
 Cond Min – Either produce at least X units or produce none at all

Note: The conditional minimum flow establishes that, in order to use this source site -
destination site combinations for any shipments, a minimum flow is necessary.
Essentially this constraint is similar to saying the flow can be 0 or higher than the
minimum.

 Define – Supply Chain Guru does not use the Flow Reqt to satisfy the constraint.

Type: Text

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 137


Chapter 3 Constraints Tables

Choose the Inventory Requirement Type - conditional minimum, minimum, maximum, or


fixed. This defines how the Inventory Requirement for pre-build inventory is used:
 Min – At least X amount of Inventory Units must be at that site(s).
 Max – At most X amount of Inventory Units can be at that site(s).
 Fixed – X amount of Inventory Units must be present at that particular site(s) at all
times.
 Cond. Min – Either 0 or at least X amount of Inventory must be present at that
particular site(s).

Note: The conditional minimum Inventory Aggregate Constraint is similar to saying the
Inventory can be 0 or higher than the minimum.

 Define – Supply Chain Guru does not use the Inventory Reqt to satisfy the constraint.
Instead, the requirement value is specified in the Expression Constraint.

Type: Text
This field is the name of the expression based cost.

Expression Name
Type: Text
Enter the name of the expression to which the cost applies.

Fixed Cost Component


Type: Number or Pairs
Enter the fixed cost to be applied to the expression. You can define the cost as a single
value, or specify a step cost. For example, if you define the Fixed Cost Component as
<0,5000><250,40000><1000,75000>, if the constraint value is 600, the Fixed Cost will

Variable Cost Component


Type: Number or Pairs
Enter the cost to be applied to the Quantity, Weight or Cubic as defined by the
Expression. You can define the cost as a single value, or specify a step cost. The cost will
be calculated based on the Variable Cost Type you select.

Variable Cost Type


Type: Special
Select one of:
 Linear – A single variable cost is applied for all Quantity, Weight or Cubic as defined by
the Expression. You must enter a single value for the Variable Cost Component when
using Linear as the Variable Cost Type. The <Quantity,Cost> format is not supported

 Incremental – Piecewise costs will be calculated based on break points. For example,
assume you have set up the Variable Cost Component as <0,1.50> <5000, 1.25>
<10000, 1.00> for a Flow Constraint and the flow is 20,000 units for the referenced
expression. The total cost will be:
(5,000 - 0)*1.50 + (10,000 - 5,000)*1.25 + (20,000 - 10,000)*1.00 = 23,750
 All Item – The cost will be based on the break in which the total occurs. Given the
same example from above, Variable Cost Component as <0,1.50> <5000, 1.25>
<10000, 1.00> for a Flow Constraint and a flow of 20,000 units, the total cost will be:
20,000 * 1.0 = 20,000

False.

Status
Use this field to specify whether a record is included or excluded from optimization.

Sequential Objectives
Objective
Select the objective to be used in Sequential Optimization. This represents the objective
function or hard constraint violation that you want to use during solving. The same
objective can be selected more than once, enabling you to group the objective with
various other objectives based on Priority.

Priority
Priority determines an objective group. Each group is solved together. All Objectives with
Priority 1 are grouped together and solve, then all Objectives with Priority 2 are grouped
together and solved next, and so on.

Tolerance
The tolerance specifies the amount of deviation in the objective value when solving the next 
hierarchy.
For example, assume the first Priority objective (Total Transportation Cost) has a
Tolerance of 0.25 and no Tolerance is specified for the second Priority objective (Total
Profit). Supply Chain Guru first minimizes Total Transportation Cost, then maximizes Total
Profit such that the new value of total Transportation Cost does not deviate more than
25% from the value when the first hierarchy was solved.

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 149


Chapter 3 Constraints Tables

By default, the tolerance is 1.0e-6.

Weight
This is a weight applied to the objective function. For example, if your model has a Fixed
Operating Cost of 10000 and you specify a Weight of 2 for the Total Fixed Operating Cost
Objective, this will be treated as a cost of 20000. The default Weight is 1.

Site
For constraints that are site-dependent, specify the site(s) to which the objective function
applies. For example, Site Throughput Capacity and Demand are Objectives that can be
constrained at the Site level.

Source
For constraints that are source location-dependent, specify the source sites to which the
objective function applies. For example, Flow is an objective that can be constrained at
the Source level.

Destination
For constraints that are destination location-dependent, specify the destination sites to
which the objective function applies. For example, Flow is an objective that can be
constrained at the Destination level.

Product
For constraints that are product-dependent, specify the products to which the objective
function applies. For example, Flow and Demand are objectives that can be constrained
at the Product level.

Mode
For constraints that are mode-dependent, specify the modes to which the objective
function applies. For example, Flow is an objective that can be constrained at the Mode
level.

Period
For constraints that are period-dependent, specify the period(s) to which the objective
function applies. For example, Work Center Throughput Capacity is an objective that can
be constrained at the Period level.

Asset
For constraints that are asset-dependent, specify the asset(s) to which the objective
function applies.

Process
For constraints that are process-dependent, specify the process(es) to which the
objective function applies. For example, Production is an objective that can be
constrained at the Process level.

If the throughput is 150,000:
 Step Remaining Capacity is 250,000 – 150,000 = 100,000
 Step Capacity Utilization is 150,000 / 250,000 = 0.60
For a two-step constraint, assume a Fixed Operating capacity constraint has been defined

Distribution and which inventory policy is recommended.

Recommended Policy
The inventory control policy that is appropriate for demand at the site for the product in
order to maintain the service requirement. See detailed descriptions in Determining the
Inventory Policy.

Policy Parameter 1
The first parameter as determined based on the Recommended Policy. For example, if the
Recommended Policy is (R,Q), Policy Parameter 1 will be the value for the Reorder Point
(R). If the Recommended Policy is (s,S), POlicy Parameter 1 will be the value for the
Report Point (s).
For additional information, refer to Policy Parameters.

Inventory Policy Summary

Expected Type 1 Service


The expected Type 1 service level met by the recommended safety stock and inventory
policy. When Service Type = Type 1, the value will be the same as the Target Service
Level for “Continuous” products, and greater than or equal to the Target Service Level for
“Discrete” products. For example, 9.5 liters of water will satisfy exactly 0.95 service
requirements. However, if water is packed 1 liter per bottle, then it must be rounded up
to 10 bottles to satisfy 0.95 service requirements. Since 10 Liters > 9.5 Liters, the
expected service level will be higher than 0.95.

Note: If the Expected Type 1 Service displays as 1, right-click and select Column
Formatting to adjust the number of Decimal Places.

Expected Type 2 Service


The expected Type 2 service level met by the recommended safety stock and inventory
policy. When Minimum Order Qty (Q) or Days Between Replenishments or both are not
provided, this field is calculated based on Q = 1. You must provide Minimum Order
Qty (Sourcing Policies) or Days Between Replenishments (Transportation
Policies) if Type 2 is used as a target service level to calculate safety stock. When
Service Type = Type 2, the value will be the same as the Target Service Level for
“Continuous” products, and greater than or equal to the Target Service Level for
“Discrete” products. For example, 9.5 liters of water will satisfy exactly 0.95 service
requirements. However, if water is packed 1 liter per bottle, then it must be rounded up
to 10 bottles to satisfy 0.95 service requirements. Since 10 Liters > 9.5 Liters, the
expected service level will be higher than 0.95.

Note: If the Expected Type 2 Service displays as 1, right-click and select Column
Formatting to adjust the number of Decimal Places.

Expected Type 3 Service


The expected Type 3 service level met by the recommended safety stock and inventory
policy. When Minimum Order Qty (Q) or Days Between Replenishments or both are not
provided, this field is calculated based on Q = 1. You must provide Minimum Order
Qty (Sourcing Policies) or Days Between Replenishments (Transportation
Policies) if Type 2 is used as a target service level to calculate safety stock. When
Service Type = Type 2, the value will be the same as the Target Service Level for
“Continuous” products, and greater than or equal to the Target Service Level for
“Discrete” products. For example, 9.5 liters of water will satisfy exactly 0.95 service
requirements. However, if water is packed 1 liter per bottle, then it must be rounded up
to 10 bottles to satisfy 0.95 service requirements. Since 10 Liters > 9.5 Liters, the
expected service level will be higher than 0.95.

Note: If the Expected Type 3 Service displays as 1, right-click and select Column
Formatting to adjust the number of Decimal Places.

Lead-Time Demand Dist


The distribution used to represent the demand during risk period (coverage). This is
determined by Demand Class Details and lead time demand parameters. For more
information, refer to Lead Time Outputs.

LLamasoft® Supply Chain Guru™ Data Dictionary 8.2 185


Chapter 4 Optimization Output Tables

Lead-Time Demand Mean


The average demand during lead-time. This is derived by:
Demand Mean * Coverage
For more information, refer to Lead Time Outputs.

Lead-Time Demand Std Dev


The standard deviation of demand during risk period (coverage). This is defined by:

For more information, refer to Lead Time Outputs.

Avg Backorders
The long-run time weighted average of backorders (shortage). For more information,
refer to Average Backorders.

Avg Inventory
The long-run time-weighted average on-hand inventory levels. For more information,
refer to Average Inventory.

Avg Replenishment Qty


The average size of replenishment orders. This is greater than or equal to Min
Replenishment Qty.
For example, assume the order quantity Q = 4. Depending on the demand, the
replenishment orders will vary. Assume that on day 1, the total replenishment order is 1
* Q = 4 (ordering in multiples of Q). On day 2, the replenishment order is 4 * Q = 16. On
day 3, the replenishment order is 3 * Q = 12. In this case, the Avg Replenishment Qty is
(4+16+12)/3 = 11.

Sourcing Type
Identifies if the site is sourcing the product from a single site or multiple source(s)/
mode(s) during the period. If the site has multiple sources for the product, the
recommended inventory policy for each source is found the in Inventory Policy Details
table.

Scenario ID

Inventory Policy Details

Inventory Policy Details


The Inventory Policy Details table outputs the results of Safety Stock Optimization by
site-product-source-destination-BOM. When the site-product pair is connected to multiple
sources, modes, or destinations, there will be multiple records for the site-product pair in
this table.

Scenario
The scenario for which the output data was generated.

Source Name
The name of the source from which the site receives products.

Destination Name
The name of the site served by the source site.

Product Name
The name of the product demanded at the customer.

Period Name
The period to which the safety stock and inventory policy applies.

BOM Name
The name of the bill of material (BOM) using the product at the site.

Min Replenishment Qty


Minimum size of replenishment order based on replenishment frequency or the minimum
order quantity. Min Replenishment Qty is derived as:
Max(Min Order or Shipment Qty, Days Between Replenishment or Days Between
Production × daily demand mean)
Min Replenishment Qty is used in demand propagation, and the safety stock calculation
for service Type 2 and Type 3. For Type 2 and Type 3, cycle time demand information is
required to calculate the safety stock. The Min Replenishment Qty is used to approximate
the cycle time demand.

Service Time
The amount of time the site quotes to its customer or downstream sites for getting their
orders ready to ship. Service times are the decision variables of the optimization model.
The service time customer-facing facilities quote to customers is zero by default, which
means whenever a customer places an order, the customer-facing facilities have enough
stock ready to ship immediately.

Report Point (s).
For additional information, refer to Policy Parameters.

Policy Parameter 2
The second parameter as determined based on the Recommended Policy. For example, if
the Recommended Policy is (R,Q), Policy Parameter 2 will be the value for Reorder Qty
(Q). if the Recommended Policy is (s,S), Policy Parameter 2 will be the value for Reorder
Up To Qty (S).
For additional information, refer to Policy Parameters.

Expected Type 1 Service


The expected Type 1 service level met by the recommended safety stock and inventory
policy. When Service Type = Type 1, the value will be the same as the Target Service
Level for “Continuous” products, and greater than or equal to the Target Service Level for
“Discrete” products. For example, 9.5 liters of water will satisfy exactly 0.95 service

Coverage
The optimized net period of risk (in days) that the destination site's safety stock will
cover. Also known as the "net replenishment lead time". Coverage is equal to this site's
immediate lead time, plus the service time quoted by its nearest source, minus the
service time this site quotes to its customer or nearest downstream sites. When the site
has multiple sources or destinations, coverage is calculated from the combination of
coverage for each source-site-destination. For more information, refer to Coverage.

Safety Stock
The amount of safety stock that should be held at the destination site to account for
unknown variations in demand or lead-time. This portion of safety stock at the site is
associated with demand and lead-time for the specific source, destination, mode, or BOM.
Please note that the straight sum of all safety stock at the site from the Inventory Policy
Details table may not be equal to the safety stock reported in the Inventory Policy
Summary table due to pooling effects.

If the throughput is 150,000:
 Step Remaining Capacity is 250,000 – 150,000 = 100,000
 Step Capacity Utilization is 150,000 / 250,000 = 0.60
For a two-step constraint, assume a Fixed Operating capacity constraint on a work center
is defined as:
<0,175000><250000,200000><400000,INF>
This defines two steps:
 0 to 250,000
 250,000 to 400,000, where INF cost results in a hard constraint of 400,000)
If the throughput is 300,000, the capacity is calculated as follows:
 The step size of the second step = 400,000 – 250,000 = 150,000
 The amount of the second step used = 300,000 – 250,000 = 50,000
